The difference between people's lived experience and US propaganda has never been starker. Despite the US' best efforts to malign China, China keeps making friends and partners across the globe.

As expected, multiple countries are rushing to Sudan to rescue their citizens. The situation is getting worse, that even the otherwise apathetic regimes of Western countries are taking action.

But not the benevolent United States. "It is not our standard procedure to evacuate American citizens living abroad," proclaimed White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, a black Haitian-American and spokesperson for the civilization that once enslaved her ancestors.

This is not surprising. If the US can commit mass murder against its own people at home, if its police forces can kill thousands of civilians on the streets (it admits to killing only 1,000 each year), if it can encourage Americans to consume deadly drugs for profits which kill them by the tens of thousands each year - it is hardly about to start caring about black US nationals stuck in a war zone.

    The US government always does this. Remember when they sent a plane to evacuate people from Wuhan? Americans cheered. Then, they found out that plane was leaving half empty - it was only for consulate staff. Government employees. Americans raised a stink and were reluctantly allowed to fill the empty seats - at $2,000 each. Other countries like Russia, Philippines, etc. sent planes to get their people home. No charge, of course, because they actually care about their people.
