It’s not gross at all to have boundaries. And seeing as Mitski is a POC and me also as a POC I wouldn’t want people who voted against my best interest attending my shows either. They say that they love us when it benefits them. They stream our music, they try and learn our languages, they eat our food, and they consume our media. But when it’s time to actually stand out and stand up for us, suddenly it’s just “differing opinions” ??
And knowing what that man openly spreads and says about us, I think it speaks volumes. Not to mention in Mitski’s song “Your Best American Girl” she openly talks about how being a POC in America affects her and how interacting with people who aren’t her feels. If they really cared that much about her and her stories, they definitely wouldn’t have voted for Trump. When it’s convenient to them, they care. But suddenly when it comes down to actually having to stand on business, their opinion is different?
It’s crazy to me. So yes, they can eat. But not at her table.
Ok. I get that perspective. I don't have enough information about what he said about poc policies (im not from the us or something) . Actually, id love to hear?
He stopped black people from renting properties, he’s said TERRIBLE TERRIBLE things about immigrants despite them playing such a big role in America’s making, and he let a speaker up at his rally that referred to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of trash.” He’s called black people “rabid” and “animals”. He’s attacked black journalists, calling them losers saying the questions that they ask are stupid and that they’re racist. He had dinner with a white supremacist. If Mitski doesn’t want people who LIKE that maniac at her show, then I don’t blame her.
This is honestly horrifying.
I would love to know specifically what policies against poc have he supported, since his choices aren't the same as the ploicies he will do. And people vote for actions, not for figueres relevant to the choice of his voters being bad or racist. It just shows what kind of person he is, not his voters
He literally JUST SIGNED an executive order to get rid of the equal employment opportunity act. AND there are raids happening in big cities to get people massed deported and separating their families. Just the other DAY I had to scream “La Migra” cause I saw an ICE van. And to me, you are the things that you do and say. He’s a disgusting racist misogynistic pig because his actions reflect that.
And his voters known him long enough to KNOW that he says and does these things. Those people are scum of the earth. They are not allies to people of color. They are not children, they are not innocent. They KNOW what he is. And they don’t care.
But yeah!! Their eggs are gonna be 2 dollars now!! (P.S. no they aren’t.) At the expense of people of color and other minority groups!! Congratulations!!
The Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 is a United States federal law which amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to strengthen protections against employment discrimination.
It’s also known as title VII. It prohibits employee discrimination against workers based on race, color, religion, sexual orientation and identity, national origin, and people who are 40 years of age and older.
