as a W I can only offer support, and say I would say something to the idjit if he did that in front of me. But you're right, it would have to be a room full of us, or at least woke folk / POC in the majority, for it to really have the proper effect.

how many racist assholes there are in the world today.

i rather doubt the friend has "no clue" and "does not care".

ok, maybe it's barely possible, but these people who always seem to be spoiling for a confrontation serve as enforcers of a particular social hierarchy, with "w" of course at the top.

they see people getting out of line and a sense of duty stirs within them to enforce their preferred social order.


they very likely know damn well they're offending you (and others) but see it as their duty to do so. hell, they may even think they're doing you a favor, after all, other enforcers might do even worse than crack an offensive "joke".


but yeah, it's everywhere, all the time. a "w" turns america into a russian puppet state, committing a ton of crimes in the process, he's practically untouchable in the highest office. someone else takes a knee and his career is over.

this is the real battle. people obsess over removing donnie, as if a slightly premature termination from one man's temp job is really going to change much. the war they are fighting is for the twisted social order which america has tried for ages to leave in its ugly past. it's being fought on many fronts, and we have to fight on all of them.

but what they dont know and dont want to learn is how their actions in the past and even still in the present lead to horrific outcomes for everyday lives.

They dont know or dont care to find out but sure, they know they are assholes.

Also, it is single-handedly keeping the Republican Party alive. There is no Republican Party without racism. At least not at the national level.
