@eyesquash I blame the American Far Left, who got together with the American Far Right, and along with a delusional portion of blacks and latinos, and fucked the country right back into the stone age.

That's who I blame.

@ShredderFeeder @eyesquash Yup, playing other against other is an old trick and Trump managed to do it.

When I lived in Florida I was shocked to see the Latinos there hated Blacks. They were the most anti-Black racists of all. And I'm like, your people came from Cuba a generation ago. That Black guy's people immigrated involuntarily from Africa. It's almost certain you have African blood in you. What's your problem.

Here in West Virginia, there are few POC but that's changing rapidly and should produce interesting effects. Here's it's still Irish versus Italians, hating each other.

What is it with immigrant groups? We're ALL immigrants. None of us are "from here". I'm fortunate to know that my DNA and family history place me from the shore of a lake in Estonia where my people have lived for 5,000 years. That's who I am. But now I'm "American".

Why does anybody care about this and why is it so easy to fire up hatreds between these groups? It's crazy. It's insane. And it's fundamental to all of US history.
