I’m aware of all of the terrible things that my government has done. I purposely said 80 years because of the internment of Japanese citizens is the closest thing to what’s happening. Still much different though. Not here for the hardship Olympics.
If you know about history, and you pretend what’s happening isn’t unprecedented, then you’re being disingenuous.
You pretending it’s unprecedented is privileged and incorrect. This the first time since the Japanese internments that white or white adjacent people have regularly suffered illegal search and seizure and been made to feel unsafe in public in the US. The person you responded to brought up plenty of precedent for stuff that’s as bad or almost as bad that has been accepted treatment of non-white people in the states since it became a country. You don’t get to accuse somebody of being disingenuous because they care about the plight of people you seem to be happy to marginalize by claiming and defending that this is unprecedented. The only thing unprecedented about the current state of affairs is that white people are suffering because of it too
Internment of Japanese Americans
Stonewall riots
United States heard change and shot Malcom X and MLK
United States just got done having a president that supported segregation
Dakota Access Pipeline protests
Terry stops have allowed police to stop anyone at any time for any reason and arrest them for whatever the officer makes up
not a complete list and again this is not unprecedented but just ramping up more of what was definitely already here
only people not seeing are the sheltered ones in HOAs
