It’s just the same thing as “I have a Black friend” lmao

Obama is Black, does that mean America doesn’t have a Nazi problem?

    it's the international version of "he can't be racist because he has a black friend"

    "The concentration camps can't be antisemitic - the kapos are Jewish for God's sake!"

    There have always been Jewish collaborators with fascism and Nazism. This argument is ahistorical af.

      Zelensky pled with Russia, saying that his family was killed in the holocaust and fought in the Red Army - so he can’t be supporting Nazism.

      How can you say you’re not antisemitic or that you’re defending Ukrainian culture/history when you praise the very people who killed your family while equating your family* who fought against extermination to the ones doing the extermination?

      It’s insulting on so many fronts.

      *while he didn’t equate his family specifically, the anti communism laws basically equate them to Nazis, despite the president himself recognizing that they’re different. Of course, the communists are oppressed much more than the fascists despite both being nominally criminalized.

    Lest we forget, there were a lot of white people who thought that racism was over when Obama got elected

      Racism ended when America, the only country on earth, had a black president.

      Now the only way you can be racist is against white people since we haven't had a white president since. Trump was a Cheeto and Brandon is dark so. Not white.

    The freedom fighter Prigozhin was Jewish so Wagner can’t be Nazi. But Putler is anti semitic and killed Prigozhin which introduced Nazism back to Russia.

    He doesn't have a problem meeting with the founder of Azov, Andriy "the Ukrainian nation’s mission is to lead the white races of the world in a final crusade against Semite-led Untermenschen” Biletsky. He also said it's normal and cool that Bandera is a hero for some Ukrainians.
