Well I mean how could I ever convince you if you make up quotes i never said. You're just talking past me. Have a nice life.

[–] imahappyguy@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

make up quotes about me what an actual child, you are. Here's the actual quote.

It's not naive because Northen racism still fought a war to give African-Americans the right to be citizens.

It's not naïve to say that we would still have the level of racism today, when after they fought that war to give African Americans the right to be citizens? When those same soldiers killed black people? When they kept them out of schools and churches? You're still ignoring the point, my friend. How about another quote?

...democracy and freedom for all

you said this as your main sticking point for the difference. Where is the freedom in segregation? Where is the democracy in intentional economic hardship? Where is the democracy in lynchings?

You are quite welcome to keep your whitewashed history of the US. Good luck overcoming the fascism with that one. Your country can't even agree on your own history and you hope to be condescending? Truly it is a wonder how Donald Trump got elected in your country.

Lol so you're not even in the US trying to teach me about my own lived reality in the US. It all makes sense now.

Nah, born and raised in the US. But I pledge allegiance to no government.

Edit: you just struck me as a nationalist, so I figured I would appeal to that by saying your country. you gotta be nationalist to ignore the history of the country.

Oh you think im a nationalist. Very cool. No you're right both sides are the same might as well let maga win because it's all racist anyway, you convinced me thanks I appreciate you showing me the way.
