Yup, lets just keep pointing fingers so we never learn anything.
Political Memes
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
Liberals are literally scapegoating minorities instead of criticizing the DNC.
Pointing the finger and learning nothing? Like I said?
They're agreeing with you.
Don't worry. The fascist regime will be issuing counterfeit passes to anyone who wants one.
Really, it's racist to say that only black people can use it. /s
Real talk, every time I go home, my parents throw the word around everywhere (In their home. They suck, but aren't stupid). They justify it by saying "it's just a trashy person of any color". So I tell them to go ahead use it in public to see what the response is. I still don't think they've tried it. At least not in any circles that will get them in an ass whooping situation
I hear that insane take from the same people that say BLM was Antifa’s terrorist movement.
This is how you divide your competition.
Sorry, I'm a latino, Mexicano, living in México, so I don't really have the slightest idea of how did this happen. Can someone give it a try?
EDIT: While I appreciate all of your replies, I'm even more confused as I see people mentioning "hispanic americans" as a synonym for "latino". This was an interesting read about the confusion. However, the reasons seem to be addressed against Hispanic Americans, but the meme os against Latinos. It feels a bit artificial or even prejudicial. Sorry for this edit, I'm not really sure about what I'm trying to say.
Hispanic Americans are overwhelmingly working class, and (unlikely black people) don't see themselves as a single unified minority group, so they don't feel the sting of Republican racism pointed towards them.
Why doesn't working class matter? Because such people generally aren't as involved in following politics and policy type stuff as white collar folks. So they are swayed by other factors like masculinity signalling. This is obviously why Trump added Hulk Hogan, and of course standing up and pumping his fist after getting nicked in the ear by a terrible sniper helped too.
Hispanic Americans overwhelmingly voted to pull the ladder up behind them
It's OK they will learn all sorts of new slurs from police, ICE, border patrol, people at Walmart
Yeah fuck minorities! It's their fault the democrats lost and no one else's, least of all the democrats themselves!
So exhausted of the minority bashing on lemmy and other leftist/alternative social media, it was here before but it got way worse after the election. Anybody who thinks its ok to judge an entire population of peoples based on the political associations of some is fucking stupid and can fuck right off.
One of the reasons why I took a break from Lemmy for election week is I stopped being able to tell Hasbera from Democrats. In fact, the Hasbera are still trolling on Lemmy and reddit, blaming Palestinians for Harris's lost.
We have been arguing Democrats are a party without a people for a long time. At this point, I honestly feel anything I type is lost to the void
It's incredibly infuriating. And the worst part is you already see democrat mainstream media types setting their crosshairs on trans people. In 2028, the democratic party will run on the 2024 republican platform, just like they ran on the 2020 republican platform today, and there's nothing we can do to stop it, because of these idiotic shitlibs.
Man.. when I lived in Los Angeles. Latinos hated blacks, it surprised me - I heard some crazy shit that made me look like ಠ_ಠ
fuck man... I chuckled hard. but i willingly gave that up a few years ago... didn't feel right growing up in the burbs.
I may have brain damage, but I can't see this image without hearing Morpheus' voice in my head screaming: "NEEOOOOO WAKE UP NEEEEOOO!"
