      The first part of your sentence is racist. Please don’t disparage an entire group of people for something they did not choose.

        Except an overwhelming amount of a specific large group DID choose, continue to choose, and are complicit with.

        What’s the overwhelming color of the ICE agents?

          Your reading comprehension is shite.

          The commenter that replied to you meant not to disparage an entire group based off of something they can’t choose, which in context was their skin color.

          So no, an overwhelming amount of people didn’t choose that, they were born with it. You racist ass dingus.

          “The majority of people in prison are black.”

          “The majority of rapists are men.”

          Does that make it ok to hate on all men, or all black people? I think not.

          Most ICE agents may be white, but most white people are not ICE agents - and even if they were - which they’re NOT - it still wouldn’t be fair to hate on all white people, including the minority good people (which is actually the majority in real, non hypothetical, life), just because of what some other people in that group did.

          And you can add that to the fact that no one, not even albinos, is truly ‘black’ or ‘white’ either, we’re all shades of desaturated orange.

          What’s the overwhelming color of the ICE agents?

          What’s the overwhelming color of people in the US? Almost like a majority in a country has majority in most aspects of it.

      you’re missing your target. The enemy is the capital & its goons. It’s important to know that so that you can distinguish between friend and foe. If you are from the USA, the inevitable conflict will have you bear arms, and it will be very important for you to know who your enemy is. If you shoot all that is white, you’re not going to be a very dependable ally.

        Power almost always needs a scapegoat. They are diversifying lately from people of color, and pushing immigrants again, along with other minotlrities like LGBT, and of course anyone who thinks their fascism is a bad idea. Just look at what trump is doing regarding educational institutions, media organizations, and law firms. Critical thinking is likely to get you killed.
