      This isn’t a baby step. This is someone saying, “Let’s murder all the Jews” and all the other Germans throwing money at them for saying it.

      “How could the german people allow such things to happen”, says the nation that allowed such things to happen to native americans.

          There is a big difference between “Fuck America” and “Fuck all Americans”.

          Of those 300 million, the ones who are not to be blamed are the ones who realize this and also say “Fuck America!” Surely you can’t be so ignorant as to not see how the existence of that country as a political institution has a direct and causal link to this sort of outcome.

    Good that they’re losing the shame and outing themselves. It’ll make things way easier when the Nuremberg part comes. Just like in the 1930’s onwards.

    Yes, don’t just be a covert racist - say it openly and proudly to the world. That way we know who you are, and any retard defending you and making up excuses will have a harder time with it.

      Do you honestly believe the United States would ever hold Nuremberg style trials? I think we’ve been too far gone for a long time, I just hope I can flee the country in the next 5 years.

        Nazi Germany didn’t hold the Nuremberg trials. The trials were held by the victors.

        Granted, that means the US has to lose a war to the point of the entire nation being occupied by the victors…

      Stop the authoritarian shit, sending gang bangers with badges to enforce your fragile morality. Vocal racists are great because you can punch them in the mouth. That’s how we learn. This “if everybody did this or was this way” shit is naive and authoritarian.

      There was one set-up by the NAACP, however the family has turned it down. They are actually pursuing charges as the woman followed their 5 year old while yelling slurs at him, and he is autistic. She claims he stole her diaper bag, however other witnesses have said this wasn’t true, he began playing with toys that were out, and, apparently owned by her, which prompted her to do this. Following the kid, while doing this likely makes this harassment. In this particular case harassment of a 5 year old, special needs kid, and because of the slurs, a hate crime enhancer to the penalties. So she could actually be in serious legal trouble. The family said they would much rather pursue criminal charges. Also, the man who recorded, and outed, her was charged with some sort of sexual crime, i think, involving a minor. The case however was dropped in a manner that means that the case was so bad it wasn’t even worth the time to consider it. So he didn’t do it. He is also being harassed, and this may turn into a civil lawsuit based on things the lady said online that may cross into incitement.

      However, there is an NAACP fundraiser they do support, that will go to legal costs, instead of their general income.

        Around here the generally accepted rule is that toys lying around on the playground can be used by all kids. They just have to return them. Is this different in the US?

            Just like Zionists, and the historical Nazis.

            The persecution complex only grows along with the crimes and cruelties that it has to justify.

      Windfalls of cash often wreak havoc. Let’s hope. But really, what could happen to them that’s worse than ending up as themselves, which already happened.

        And here if I got a windfall id probably use it to do car repairs and get new boots. That’d just be a couple hundred and I’d burn out my stupid shit list at about a thousand. How do folks burn through money so easily.

          I think the problems arise when there are multiple people involved with different ideas and guilt trips. “My important needs list should take precedence over your stupid shit list” and that kind of thing. From what I understand, LeBron James was miserable for years because every person from his early life thought he basically owed it to them to buy their mom a house.

            I had a colleague ask me if he won the lottery, how much could they gift me to retire immediately? Of course a small windfall would be great to set up future stability, but I told them 5 million to give all work up immediately.
