The death of Laken Riley, who Trump called “an American daughter,” is at the center of right-wing immigration rhetoric.

    I’ll see that image of an American woman who was killed by an immigrant and raise 10 images of Americans who were killed by far right nationalist Christian terrorists.

    Edit to correct link

    These are the same people who spraypaint and vandalize memorials to Emmett Till, so their race fears and outrage are bullshit.

    I’m a man and a person of color, these right wing white nationalists are the ones I fear, not the other way around. a group of white women walking down the same street as me at night is terrifying to me, that’s a group that can fuck up my entire life if they all wanted to make up shit.

      I had a buddy in college, we were both going back full time later in life. He joked around saying I was his “white ambassador”, and I never got what it meant until he told me the same story about how a bunch of white people could make up a bunch of shit and his life would be over.

      I told him how much I thought that sucks, but he joked some more saying “nah, you are good to hang out with so it works out”.

      The way witness statements work is truly disgusting. Part of is all for the cameras everywhere because I know how these people are. They go mask off all the time.
