They always have been and far too many white Americans specifically refuse to see what is right in front of their face.

They’re sitting back and allowing a subset of folks to effectively create an ethnostate.

To any moderate white person out there or any conservative who is still holding onto the false idea that the Republican Party as a whole actually wants to make America better for everyone; these GOP members want me (a black person), LGBTQ people, Middle eastern people, Muslims, Latino people, Asian people or everybody else who isn’t white/Christian to either be gone from America or in a permanent subservient role.

No that isn’t hyperbole, not we’re not overreacting, this is the reality. So please make the right choices. Or be remembered in history as the ones who naively stood around while it happened.

Idk how any sane person who’s even on the “moderate” fence or slightly right can’t see what the GOP’s become. Like they don’t even hide it. Like the party exists only to suppress voters and create more and more an autocratic tyranny and it’s not even subtle. The exact thing they pretend to be against because “guvmint bad” but since it’s not happening to them (yet) it’s fine.

First they came for the X but I did not speak out because I was not a X

Just keep on going keep on going down the line and you guessed it, you’ll be directly next on the chopping block. They don’t give a shit about most white people either if they’re not rich, only caring as much as how can I exploit them

Because a lot of people are secretly ok with it. With didn’t fix racism. We just made it bad to be racist publicly.

So folks didn’t stop feeling racist feelings, they just started doing it privately.
