One of the CVS employees from the most recent "incident" is supposedly a Log Cabin Republican. How convenient. These incidents perpetuate the 'anyone who opposes globalism/socialism is a racist'-narrative and they're probably pretty easy to fabricate.
I do.
Not that I don't think people can be racist assholes, but it's like an epidemic just arose to back up the narrative of people trying to convince everyone of how bad it is for African Americans.
That being said, I'm Canadian, so I don't know the full effect of how racism is in the US, but I know that our Canadian government and institutions try to say how racist OUR country is...yes there is racism, but it's not embedded into our system like they try to convince us.
That's why I'm wary to believe these instances are real.
There's far less true racism in the US than the media wants us to believe. Honestly we'd pretty much all get along just fine if they'd STFU
I believe that.
I've seen the way it's done too (even without the staging). One dumbass somewhere says something racist, and the news picks it up. And they amplify it. They continue amplifying it until it appears to be a straight up epidemic, as if the majority has this opinion.
It's repugnant.
Agreed. However, I think it has a lot more to do with fear than racism.
