Got a double play with that one.
Whew. Some of these sound a little too much like things that have actually been said, like:
This is my fave:
"We gave you equality and we can take it away!" Lmao
If somebody has to give you equality, it's not equality.
Not to mention “ Slavery was good for Black people”. Nothing boils my blood more than this sentence.
Lol
As an indigenous Canadian .... I've actually heard a variation of this one before
“I’ve never faced any discrimination for being 3% Cherokee.”
I've heard "why can't these people just get their shit together? Their land was taken hundreds of years ago!" Meanwhile the mentally ill 40 year old native guy down the street was raped and abused in residential schools, and was taken from his family and community.
Too many Canadians think the trauma inflicted on first Nations people happened a long time ago and wonder why they're so fucked up to this day. They don't realize this residential school shit JUST ended and the anti first nations racism is still rampant
You know, come to think of it, I never have met a slave before. Case closed, our white hands are clean (obviously).
Reminds me of my white, wealthy, old, female neighbor who tells my dark ass that cops are good guys cause they've always treated HER well.
Ya you can’t call it racism when it’s genocide. Right???????
