Got family out last year (inter-racial marriage), I'm mostly out myself.
Last year made me truly appreciate the meaning of the word 'privilege'.
The south has never, and can NEVER forget we elected a black man over them. There is no greater crime in their conception.
Any advice on getting out? It’d be greatly appreciated.
Get a passport and leave. Figure the rest out while you're not in a concentration camp. MILLIONS of Jewish people fled Germany this way.
I'm so fucking glad my entire family got ours last year. We are so fucking gone when the shit hit the fan.
Married to a European, so I just lucked out, she made sure the kid was a dual citizen too.
Did you hear that Trump has announced he’s going to cancel all birthright citizenships?
I have, but haven’t followed up, so take that as internet info.
Btw, I lived in the south, I wasn't a citizen there either.
If I'd hung around another year I would have been a muslim terrist from the Iraqi Taliban or something.
I know, and I don't doubt that.
But my wife is white (like, blond, blue eyes, Galadriel white), so they won't touch her citizenship.
I guess I was an anchor baby in the end anyway.
edit: Oh, I'm rich too, so I'm golden either way.
Fucking privilege, man.
