Handing over information about people to nazi government officials is called INFORMING. This is already happening with transgender Americans, women and girls.

@Judeet98 I'd like it to be the same way here. Collaborators should be tainted for life and generations.

@Judeet98 As a kid, I remember looking at pictures of them in one of the "Life" book compilations.

    @xmetal Yeah, they all suck. We know who they are now and they'll never live it down in the eyes of sane people.

    I resent the fact that MY government is disseminating information on a white supremacist social media platform owned by a fascist oligarch. Why are they privy to it, yet I'm not?

    @SimoneM_65 I feel the same way. You see it coming for years and still, when it happens, it's jaw dropping.

    White people have to understand and come to grips with the fact that Black people are not who they told you we are. Propaganda, lies, misinformation were fed to you with great purpose. Until you embrace that, you can't change and thus, nothing will change.

    StillIRise1963,
    @StillIRise1963@mastodon.world avatar

    @SimoneM_65 Yep. Oppressors demand that those they oppress emulate their culture. "Appropriate" means whatever they do. Fuck that.

    I'm 59. When I was born, segregation existed, interracial marriage was illegal and women were not allowed to have credit cards in their own names until I was 11 years old. CIVIL RIGHTS ARE A NEW THING.

    @EarlOfEdgecombe Yep. It's really bad in NYC. My kids went to school in the City until the end of 8th grade. This is another example:

    @CurtAdams I know what you mean. It seemed totally normal at the time. There are many shows from the past that freak me out now. @servelan @StandUp2Fascism @LizDylan @SharonGibson3 @TenPenny

    @SharonGibson3 I remember that this show existed but I never saw it. I didn't know that was the ugly content. ☹️ @CurtAdams @servelan @StandUp2Fascism @LizDylan @TenPenny

    @kameka I feel the same way. My relatives couldn't vote and they fought for the right. I would never disrespect any of them by not voting.
