It’s actually a bit ironic, because CRT is viewed by many White Americans as a theory which demonizes them; but CRT also defines how racism has harmed poor white people in the past and continues to do so today.

CRT defines the biggest winners of Racism in America as being wealthy white folks. According to CRT, Racism as we know it today, was created as a means to take advantage of poor whites. Rich plantation owners recognized slavery caused great economic harm to poorer whites who did not own slaves. So a solution to stop revolt was to create this system of Race so that poor whites would remain divided from black slaves, and not work together to retaliate.

CRT also claims that this is still occuring today. Racism continues to divide poor white people from poor people of color so that they don’t work together to fight against Injustice.

I understand, and I wish we could just halt some of the actions of those in power here in America, but that is not a realistic ask.

Also, you should care. Because there is a major difference between the prior genociders and the current genociders in power. The Trump administration dehumanizes the Palestinians, so they have zero ethical qualms about allowing the genocide to continue. In fact, they want to speed it up so that they can put a “ended the conflict between Israel and Palestine” trophy up on their proverbial shelf.

At least the Biden/Harris administration viewed the Palestinians as human beings still and were wrestling with the ethical violation. Now, I wish they did better. With a president Harris, there would at least been some hope that she would eventually put Palestinians lives ahead of geopolitical goals. With a Trump administration, there is miniscule hope that they will ever side with the Palestinians.

Hi there. This is the second thread I’ve seen you post this rhetoric. As an American who lives 6000 miles away from Israel, what exactly are you expecting? You want us to all take up arms, fly over the Atlantic Ocean and fight? If you are going to harshly condemn Americans actions, then at least provide a reasonable alternative to these actions.

The reality is Americans are doing this because elections is a way a lot of us feel like we can make a difference (regardless of the validity of these beliefs). To people who lack the ability to make predictions, the presidential election seemed like a lose/lose scenario regarding the topic of the Genocide of Palestinians. To people who have the ability to make predictions, they understood that voting Trump into power would result in more harm coming to the Palestinians, so we reluctantly went out and voted for Harris.

Here we are today, and most of our predictions regarding Trump is coming true, so some of us are now trying to rub it in the faces of the Americans who probably should have voted for Harris, but decided to sit home or vote third party on election day…

Now, I do hear you though. Ultimately, it sucks the most for Palestinians who are living the Genocide. Unfortunately, there isn’t much the average American can do about it, so we instead focus on topics that feel more practical (like the elections and American politics).
