Keep shooting yourself in the foot.

People like you are doing more to maintain inequity than the klan and similar groups at this point.

I don't know how you think you can embrace the idea of judging and penalizing based only on race and expect the majority to go along with using it to disadvantage themselves as retaliatory justice for something they had no part in.

And yes, it's clearly about revenge instead of equity. If you wanted equity, you could easily get sufficient buy in by race neutral benefits to the disadvantaged; it would disproportionately benefit POC because POC are disproportionately disadvantaged. But because you embrace the same ideas about race, that's not good enough. You can't stand the idea of not having some races get the short end of the stick, so you wind up empowering the political party promising to keep making sure white people don't.

Sometimes I wonder how many understand this and don't care, vs so blinded by self-righteousness they don't even see how they're undermining the very goal they profess.

Lol we're the ones responsible for rampant inequality and wealth hording by the oligarchs? And i don't support the idea of judging/penalizing based on race. But even if I was, are you telling me the Republicans are better in any way? You're just showing your ass and you want the status quo to remain what it is. And you're fear mongered to think these policies will be any worse than the system of oppression that already exists
