Probably has something to do with more and more nazi flags showing up at Republican rallies and conservatives refusing to categorically condemn white supremacy.

With the constant political radicalization and cultism going on, it's certainly a valid fear. Hopefully it's another big loss for Trump and that causes things to die down, rather than worsen.

We have a major political party that is essentially the Neo-Confederate Party, right wing talk radio and Fox News brainwashing folks for 40 years, the radicalization is in plain sight.

The comments on that Twitter feed are about what I expected.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


That's the thing, this kind of ignorance is everywhere, even California has some places that are reminiscent of the Deep South once you get outside of the cities. It's more of a rural vs. urban thing. Houston is the largest city that is close to me and it's very diverse and progressive, go an hour and a half outside of the city limits in certain areas and you either have the elite suburb type racism or the Deliverance banjo playing type.

It'll never, ever get better under the current system. You'd need a major socialist overhaul of society for it to ever change; racism is just too damn useful a tool for the corporate oligarchy to keep the working masses in their (oppressed) place.

this is the whole reason republicans attack the education system. they don't want people to think about things, they just want kids to follow the god given curriculum

Things aren't so one sided. All Latinos i speak to know we're just pawns on the chessboard, both sides use us when it's convenient to them. Obama and Biden promised to do more for us and we only got DACA out of one of them, the latter promised a reform within his first 100 days and to this day all we've seen is a continuation of the deportation camps trump started.

Well yeah, look at how suddenly people openly hate transgenders and gay people again, how racism used to get you looked at funny gets you standing applause and laughter, how openly pushing for women to be nothing but living onahole baby factories, how openly pushing for rich people god tier and children being free labor doesn't immediately end a career it's fucked the children of today are fucked and the babies of today will never know what they could have have had as white washing history in favor of blind patriotism is on the rise as well. Hell the babies of today won't even know what it's like to live without the government watching, documenting and knowing your every single move and disappearing you if you say or do something they don't like.

Latino shifted culturally from one of the race options to a second question. I imagine people who identify as white and Latino are seeing more benefits than those that identify as black and Latino.

I grew up around a lot of racists, including some actual KKK members, and the casual, mainstream anti-blackness these days is worse than what they would only dare to say in private. The racist asshole uncle everyone once tried to keep hidden has a platform now, and it's insane.

Things will probably get worse, conservatives are on an absolute war path. They refuse to condemn the white supremacists in their party, with some beginning to openly embrace it and say the quiet parts out loud.

There's been this false notion for years now that racism is done and dealt with as long as no one talks about it, but now that more people are talking about it on larger platforms than ever before, the open hostility from conservatives is amping up. It's a really sad sight.

Why wouldnt it? People keep pushing republican/conservative narratives, and say that republican beliefs need to be respected otherwise politics becomes us vs them. The result is that actual people are getting hurt due to republicans. We need to take Germanys stance on Nazis - zero tolerance even if they are elderly
