That uppity bitch wearing pants at a pro-segregatuon protest. We'll fix her.

That guy wrote cursive on his sign.

Half my grandparents were in Syria and the other half were fighting against segregation. People like Anne Braden were around and I choose to identify with her America while disowning and shaming scumbags like ICE and those pictured. There are historical Americans that can and should be absolutely shamed and there are ones that did everything in their power to improve the country for all. Neither should be forgotten or minimized for their impact.

There are like two good people in the white American mythos, and John Brown is one of them already! No, man, it's a country of villains, a bloodthirsty, amoral empire and thank God it's going down.

That's commendable and I agree we shouldn't forget those either, but statistically most white people didn't give a damn, the civil rights would have never materialized without black people grabbing arms to defend themselves

Apples are from Kazakhstan.

Racism is very American, ICE is very racist, but ICE is also quite new. We did fine without them for more than 200 years.

These are the people in power now. There should be an international year or celebration when the last person born before the year 2000 dies, with minor celebrations for each decade leading up to that year.

The younger people in this photo are probably pushing 70 or so, anyone that was over 30 is probably a corpse by now.

What's the argument here? Is it that America has always been that? YES, WE KNOW, WE WANT THAT TO CHANGE.

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

It cannot change as a nation. Any movement for federal reform is a lost cause. Certain states and municipalities could change, and that is where the future is for some citizens.
