Definitely not exclusive to the US but still a significant and shameful part of our history. LBJ said it best. “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored [brown, gay, trans, etc.] man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
Yep
Something that was said so publicly is remembered by so few, and the ramifications echo around the world decades later
The US doesn’t have a monopoly on stupidity, hate and ignorance
But they’re so proud of it…
And so blind to the fact that so much of the world just wants them to fuck off and sit in the corner
I’ve been asked why July 4 isn’t a big deal in Australia, and when I laughed, it was met with huffy indignation
Just like the stupid American woman demanding a discount for a tourist attraction in London because she had an American AAA card, and being pissy because she didn’t get one
I like it when yanks ask me how I’m supposed to defend myself without firearms (I laugh when they say “gun”, because it tells me so much)
When I point out that people aren’t armed here, so it’s not an issue, the type to ask that question genuinely can’t understand it
Because they’re stupid.
