The audacity of a red state white Republic卐n demanding answers from a blue state minority democrat is giving pure slavery days vibes.

“How dare the uppity negro do this?”

Yeah, I fucking said it. The US government has returned to white plantation owner mentality. The president himself is openly racist and refusing to apologize.

That is certainly true in a way. But he's speaking down to Mamdani on "behalf" of Jewish people, no? That's not precisely the same thing as white people, right?

I’m not sure if you know but Netanyahu and ilk are convinced they’re white racists. They take every opportunity to remind the world, usually with genocidal violence.

why do you think the senator didn't press Mamdani to come up with an "anti-white racism" policy instead? "antisemitism" doesn't cover all white people even if Netanyahu and friends think they're white. Sorry if I come across as slow.

I’m assuming innocence instead of malice on your part but I’m on alert.

There is no Republic卐n senator that decries “woke” or “DEI” that isn’t dog-whistling their racism. Not a single one.

that doesn't answer my question.

You already know the answer. Sorry, it’s not my day to explain this to internet people.

I've banned you for trying to hide Jewish Supremacism behind White Supremacism (this instance condemns both)

He argues in good faith
