Arlington Cemetery website is now "Male Whites Only"

I was gonna say that every human being has Black ancestors...of course, misunderstanding of that fact probably enables some racists
Yeah, and then the sensible, up-standing, God-fearing citizens turned themselves white through sheer determination. Anyone who's still black is lazy and lacking in moral character.
-- Some racist, probably

Firstly, many of them aren't casual racists, they take it very seriously and train constantly, you need to respect their dedication.
Secondly, yes it broke them.
From their point of view we did it just to hurt and insult them, it was a declaration of total war and that's basically how we ended up here.
Truly the majority don't even realize they're racist. They truly belive they're not. They focus their hate on "illegals", "thugs", "welfare queens", etc. When confronted by the fact that these are racist dog whistles they tend to get mad that you'd dare bring race into this and you're truly the racist. They seem to actually believe that their beliefs transcend race.
It's up to you to decide if you believe they are generally ignorant or wearing a mask. I tend to believe these people are ignorant based on my personal experiences. These people will have non-white "friends" (usually just acquaintances) or even have non-white family members that they truly care for. But at the same time they'll celebrate the death of a minority because they are "thugs" that deserve it. The cognitive disodence is amazing.
Truthfully we'll see if these ignorant people are the majority or not shortly. The current administration is emboldening the racists so it's only a matter of time before more go "mask off"

This wasn't something people voted for. Assholes took advantage of an election to cause as much chaos as possible in a nation that was apparently involved in every country imaginable and vital to many. It's hard to constantly be told America is a shit bag when most of us are unable to make any changes and voted for completely opposite people.
If they didn't know this was what they were voting for (protest non voters included) then they are blind deaf and dumb.

The Arlington National Cemetery website has scrubbed dozens of pages on gravesites and educational materials that include histories of prominent Native American, Black, Hispanic, and female service members buried in the cemetery. Only White males remain.
Man i just watched the 6888 movie recently and this makes me really sad. They had to fight that shit in WW2, got afterwards finally their recognition and now they get disrespected again. Some of them were burried there. Feel sorry for the still living members to see this happen and to see that this time the nazis are at home.
I just hope we can stop this stuff happening in europe, having the US development as a big deterrent. -
That's fair, except I didn't say Americans were scum buckets. I said America was.
Since Reagan it has rolled downhill slow enough that many didn't notice they were on a trip to hell. Now the world knows.
To be fair, the supporters of this regime 100% voted for this bullshit and it's more than tiresome some people aren't willing to get over the cognitive dissonance. It's extremely dangerous.

I think what truly did it in was having a black president. The casual racists got so mad that a black man was president they became hellbent on destroying the country.
It's quite sad.
"Obama broke them" someone wrote. I thought it was hyperbole or so, but it makes sense. The process of turning the GOP into dumbfuck MAGAQOP started when he first became potus.
OTOH it's also when the age of social media kicked off.

90 million people didn't vote.
Yes they did. If you don't vote you voted for this.

Are you saying that people living in democratic countries are not responsible for the actions of their elected officials?

Asian males once again forgotten.

You missed where this was planned and documented for years? The guy's a serial rapist and a felon. Point to us on the stuffed bear the part where any of this is surprising.

"don't want to do this but do it anyways" is such a great way to mount a defense a against hostile acts by the president
The Chuck Schumer school of resistance.

Their answer would be, "I'm just doing my job". And I get it, but you gotta draw the line somewhere, right? Like before the ovens start up?
"just doing my job" isn't really relevant when your job is literally destroying democracy to assist a fascist neo-nazi regime
Yes, quitting "in protest" is an option, but why do that when you can just collect a paycheck and be a shitty as possible at your job until you get fired?
"oh sure thing boss I'll get right on this deletion thing" 6 days of fucking around on the fediverse later, websites still unchanged "oh yeah I'm working on it, top priority!"
I get fear of retribution if they figure out you're doing it on purpose to sabotage efforts but like.... How many people are actually bothering?
I can't imagine someone in the firing squad trying to say "I was just doing my job", it's not the same thing as the guy working in the lunchroom. The only difference in my opinion is the firing squad kills people and the guy at the computer kills information, democracy, morality, common sense etc...
You can't say you were just doing your job when your job is "destroy this information"
Yes, it's "just a small part" but even the Great Wall of China is made of smaller bricks/slabs. The whole can't exist without the separate pieces.
I'm a little rambly, apologies. I hope I've made a coherent point.

Oh boy I hope this is what finally brings down the price of gas, groceries, and I can afford to buy my first house.

Yes they did. If you don't vote you voted for this.
You can keep sticking to your guns about it being a legitimate government but you're only hurting yourself with it.

There are both groups, and some in-betweeners. I have known several actual white supremacists. They are who they are. They hold "church" and talk about how all this is to keep the white man down.
I've known plenty who are casually racist but are more "I just don't like them" than anything organized. They believe some of it, but they expect things to work out because they're white so they don't organize.
I've known LOADS of people who are just ignorant. They live in a bubble where all they hear is about how the government is trying to give others a leg up and they're jealous. Where's their help? They grew up poor. If someone in their past benefited from slavery or oppression it was squandered. They have friends and family of color and genuinely love them. Some of them are white passing POC. They do tremendous harm out of ignorance and because they were lied to. That's not an absolution, because they could go find the information, but an indictment of the media bubble that they're in and some of the others they associate with.
That doesn't just go for racists. Sexists and LGBTQIA bigots are the same.
