Because white people don’t want to hear that.
Errbody gotta do their bit for white supremacy.

Ever notice these problematic people are always leaning towards white supremacy?

You never see them supporting someone who’s overall great but a bit AGAINST whiteness.

What happened to woman from a while ago?
I need closure on that

But they’re not even admitting they were wrong.

They’re “admitting” they were fooled.

They weren’t.
They just thought people they don’t like would get hurt.

Nah they voted for white supremacy, it bit them in the ass, now they want to cry about how they were “fooled”
& you ready to welcome them with open arms because you don’t want to look too closely at their white supremacist leanings, but you’re cool with throwing anyone who sees them under the bus

“Be nice to the man who beats you or he will beat you”

Fuck them

DEI Shaniqua @mediocrecoder.bsky.social · 2d

And y’all (the majority) keep ignoring the contradictions.
How’s that working?

Lorenzo D’Agostino is one of the journalists who has been covering the illegal pushbacks of refugees in the Mediterranean Sea. If you know something about these pushbacks it is in part because of work he has done. This is his account of his detention and capture on the Global Sumud Flotilla.

It appears that the Italian state, government, and parts of the Church tried to stop the Flotilla not to prevent an armed clash with Netanyahu, but to avoid the media exposure of a country increasingly radicalized and indefensible - except through repressive laws - and to suppress reports of egregious human rights violations.
"We were intercepted at 1:58 a.m. on Thursday. On my boat, the Hio, part of the Global Sumud Flotilla mission, five Israeli soldiers boarded with rifles pointed at us, lasers aimed. Exactly one month after our departure from

On board, the soldiers allowed us to go to the bathroom, eat, drink, and smoke.
Then they redirected the boat toward the port of Ashdod. We stayed moored for a couple of hours. Before letting us disembark, one soldier wanted to speak to our captain: "My friend, my friend, listen to me, you'll like this one: when dwarfs cast long shadows, it means the sun is low." That was the last thing he said.
As we disembarked, someone from the other boats shouted, "The police will be worse." As soon as I stepped onto land, an officer grabbed my arm, twisting it behind my back to cause maximum pain. They made us sit on the ground, on a concrete esplanade.

Greta Thunberg was wrapped in the Israeli flag like a war trophy. They sat her in a corner; officers surrounded her, taking selfies.
Then they turned on another girl, Hanan, forcing her to sit in front of the flag so she'd have to look at it. They kicked people, ordered us to lower our heads and look at the ground — anyone who looked up was forced to kneel. An older activist wet himself.
Anything associated with Palestine was ripped away, thrown to the ground, and trampled. They tore bracelets off everyone's wrists; one girl was dragged because hers wouldn't break. It wasn't even the Palestinian flag — it was Somali.

We stayed on the concrete for hours.
They asked for Italian passports and took us through immigration control.
There they opened our bags: anything linked to Palestine was thrown in the trash. When they found a copy of the Quran in my bag, they went berserk — convinced I was Muslim. For two hours, every officer passing by mocked me.
In my toiletry bag they found pink wet wipes and laughed, saying "you're a woman." They slapped each other's backs, amused. After border control, they forced us to strip down to our underwear. We went through two interrogations — only one with a lawyer present. They asked if we wanted to be deported. Then came the
announcement: we were going to jail.

White supremacy is complex and requires a lot of support.
Directly and indirectly

In the US they do.
That’s why we have trump.
So it’s not just a few

“Working class” voices have made their wishes quite clear.

They want white supremacy and are getting it in spades.

So not sure how that’s not at the forefront.
