    Nothing quite like logging onto lemmy and reading the most “if minorities were nicer then people would be less racist” victim blaming comment. No, there is no world in which minorities rolling over and gently teaching misguided racists gets them equal rights. We have a systemic issue in the US where the right has been defunding education and pushing vitriolic rhetoric for decades. Minorities should not need to prove their humanity at every turn just to stay alive, nevertheless participate in politics.

      Right? I can’t believe this person seriously responded to my comment with that bullshit. And people are upvoting him.

      Right, chase all racists back under their rock for another generation. They are openly declaring they do not wish to participate in our society when they speak that way.
