Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Can I ask a stupid question. Why is it that when the United States does this shit its always a PoC they are making do it? Last time it was some old bitch that looked like she could curdle milk. Like is it on purpose?
I've noticed this too and it's genuinely uncomfortable. of course diversity is key to have, but this is just not it
It's 100% on purpose. They do this as a means of separating Black Americans from the rest of the Global South, and when Black Americans are cut off from the rest of the Global South, especially Africa, they're more susceptible to be assimilated and assimilated as second-class citizens no less. I think a recent interview by Gerald Horne even mentioned how people in the Global South didn't assume Black Americans would just go along with what the US government did until recently, which has done damage to Black radicals who want to build working relationships with other radical groups within the Global South. The constant diaspora wars on Black Twitter also have the stench of feds pretending to be Black.
I often think how our enemy wastes no moves and yet in other cases they are so inept that it makes us think we can overcome them if all we do is wait. I am so tired.
