You kidding it was built off all that shit.

🫀When did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified school children, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance. What happened to basic human decency?

Now they don’t have to hide it. Makes me sick to know. But it is what it is.

Nah, but for real!

Donald Trump happened back by teckbros & billionaires wanting to privatize everything for their profit. A lot of scopathic behaviors are involved too.

From it's inception!

It's funny because we're supposed to operate from the perspective that the country bends toward progress, but really the CRM was a deviation.

I say this about journalism all the time, LMFAO. They had their *one* moment —

stillcham.bsky.social•2 days ago

And white america has spent that handful of decades since the CRM screaming about how they want the old days back.

They’ve been pissed since the civil war. Like Putin. Pissed since 1989. It’s not all of white America. It’s the southern mentality that just refuses to quit. We should have never let them return. Should have cut them
Off after we kicked their asses. Now we gotta do it again.

But everybody pretends not to know. I mean how do you render 400 years a temporary blip on the radar, then present a few decades without slavery and jim crow as evidence that america is inherently "not racist"

stillcham.bsky.social•2 days ago

Mass propaganda project.

This is what I'm saying.

mattjlawlor.bsky.social•2 days ago

Agreed. As painful as it is to admit.

babrahamse.bsky.social•2 days ago

their purpose is to redefine "racism" in such a way that they can carry on being racists without being labeled as such

alexriesart.bsky.social•2 days ago

More people were alive during those decades, and way more media covered them.

White America almost immediately (and successfully) undermined, and reduced the impact of the CR legislation that was a result of CRM, with the goal to ultimately eliminate it entirely.

stillcham.bsky.social•2 days ago

Where we are now was decades in the making. All we got the entire time was denial and being told we're overreacting and too emotional.

blerdmommy.bsky.social•2 days ago

A gd word.

That logic is faulty due to the civil war happened 100 years before. The struggle continues. I find it annoying to hear we weren’t pissed off or actively trying to correct the situation before then. My grandma was from
The 1890s and she was my caretaker. I got the receipts. 1/2

I got to hang with my scary great grandma in VA. Our claim to fame is we still rise. There is a mural in Nashville that says they thought they buried us but they didn’t know we were seeds. Hold that thought and stay woke. 🙃

This country has NEVER been progressive, I’m talking from time. They only found ways to make racism “more polite”.

America is place where people took their families to picnics at lynchings.

papayafools.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well. Probably why they don’t teach the truth about manifest destiny, Trail of Tears etc. in schools anymore.

Also why they’re now denying holocaust and 9/11. They don’t want people knowing the whole picture.

It’s horrible.

Hey Cynthia Rose. That’s my name too!

The right has always been that way

alwaysmarycoogan.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Republicans began grooming America for this with Ronald Reagan and the imaginary Welfare Queens

maryhilt.bsky.social•2 days ago

This country was founded on the backs of people who were kidnapped from their native homes, sold into slavery and kept in sub-human conditions for the sole reason that someone wanted to make money.

Don't go all righteous on us.

tikatwo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Truth, Cynthia Rose.

djharper.bsky.social•2 days ago

Some didn’t want to see it because it didn’t bother them.

burndiggity.bsky.social•2 days ago

Especially, disregard for human decency.
