Is this worse than Obama pretending to drink Flint's water?

      This felt like the moment that a million switches flipped inside a million minds, including mine. It was so easy for years to make excuses for why Obama couldn't do this or needed to triangulate on that or whatever, but here he just straight up tells the people to fuck off and stop whining. The dawning realization in the crowd of what he's doing from the time he says "Can I get some water?" to the time he takes that tiny sip of water is still brutal to listen to. I can't imagine what that moment must have felt like for you as a black teenager

      It really sucks to be black and hate obama and everyone just assumed you're a chud. Like.. did you all not see the 8 years of racist ratfucking he did on behalf of the white supremacists and banks?

          I can remember one particular line she said that I fully agree with, basically “Most civil rights laws in the US have been federal laws. Community justice in the United States has historically been known as ‘Lynchings’”

          She was 100% right, white Americans are rabid animals and need to be controlled by a strong central government.

          I remember something she was saying on the chapo podcast a few years ago. It was about people glorifying small towns or communities, and that nobody glorifying it actually lives in one, because American small communities tend to be freaky proto-fascist environments, or something along those lines.
