Trump official: Statue of Liberty poem refers to Europeans
- Thread starter fluffydelusions
- Start date
Happens so often in history that the oppressed become the oppressors, we're a fucked up species.
You see it happen with Jewish people as well, a fair amount of Jewish people that vote Republican/have far-right beliefs and look the other way on the obvious antisemitism. (Disclaimer: am Jewish.)
Maybe he can further specify it for the people at the back. Europeans, rich and christian I think?
Y'know, just in case they still can't hear the goddamn bullhorn of racism in their face....

Also, who the fuck are the "poor and tired who can stand on their own two feet"? That's the rich and comfortable. Unless he means he literally doesn't want people who have any kind of disability coming to the US, which wouldn't be surprising, but either way it's just fucking gross.
"Cuccinelli", huh? Sounds Italian.
That's funny, because 100 years ago this guy would have been in a slum, not allowed access to the highest ranks of American society, for being the wrong kind of "European".

Damn, Cuccinelli just gave up on the dogwhistle real quick, didn't he. Then again I suppose blowing an air horn requires no stamina.
Also yeah, as many have noted, once upon a time Roman Catholic Italians weren't part of that precious "E U R O P E A N " class. And guess what? If push comes to shove, evangelical America ain't saving you.

Jesus Christ. They aren't hiding it at all anymore. Media needs to go ahead and call this racist.
the part where it says "and justice for all" in the pledge allegiance actually just means all people who voted for trump
This is an important moment. Any cloak is being cast off and you now have open, virulent, unabashed racism by senior officials. The racism isn't new at all but the brazen depravity is. It has been normalised at the highest levels and things have worsened that much. It's important because this process won't stop; everything will get worse unless it is actively stopped by the American people. What's worse, the window for stopping it without actual war and living through the destruction of your country is closing fast.
Are you comparing "European wave" discrimination to how blacks were/are treated in the USA?
Have dems call this a racist attack yet? Or everyone gonna stay quiet and let these fucks just keep doing their worst?
Also as if the statement was indefensible and racist enough on its own, let's not ignore this gem
Which is even more racist when combined with that idea
Right. "It can't be me, I stand on my two feet". Smh. Shit is sad, man.
I was in NY for a few days until today, back in Dublin now. Yesterday, I was having a conversation with some Latino friends in Brooklyn about how angry it makes me that Irish people who are illegal in the US get granted status all the time while brown people are held in concentration camps at the border.
Fuck this mentality.
Fuck this mentality.
Because it was never actually about them being illegal. Keep in mind a lot of this shit is also happening to asylum seekers, which is a legal process. So legal latino asylum seekers= bad, but Illegal European Immigrants are just fine. Shit's fucked up
Yep, I'd be willing to bet that the illegal Eastern European population in the US is pretty significant. But I doubt any of them are targeted for deportation unless they're committing serious felonies.
Yeah...and before it was mostly trump being blatant. Now all his nasty underlings are getting emboldened.
Dunno, the people on the far right don't look European enough for the inscription.

This makes me mad again everytime I see it.

Well I'm more about the fact theres "European hierachy" where Nordic people are the top and the rest are treated as "not white enough". Its pretty much the mainstream topic in the United States back then.
But this is really tame when compare to that crazy lynchings of african americans just because they are black.
France should ask for their statue back
Not that is the place to have this debate or that it matters, but depends who you ask. In some maps, Mexico is part of Central America.
