Oh look, anti-Arab racism from liberals already

[–] lohky@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Do you think a Trump win will end better for them? Shit, do you think a Trump win will end better for anyone?

Go fuck yourself. People like you will hand him a victory.

I think calling Arab-Americans stupid for refusing to vote for genocide is racist. Harris is handing Trump a victory because she can't cease US support for Israel.

I called white christians stupid motherfuckers for voting for Trump for what they believed were good reasons.

Was that racist?

When you are faced with high numbers of marginalized people refusing to vote for candidates contributing to the genocide of friends, relatives, and people of a similar heritage, and your response is that they are "stupid," rather than trying to understand why they are acting in that manner, you assert yourself as more "enlightened," and the marginalized people as uniquely stupid. That is why it is racist.

It’s like you didn’t even read what I wrote.

It’s NOT uniquely stupid. Dummies vote against their interests all the time (see comment about white Christians).

And it doesn’t take any special enlightenment to acknowledge how FPTP voting works. In fact, it’s so simple, you’d have to be pretty stupid to be unaware.

But keep ruining that word to the point of meaninglessness.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I read every word of what you wrote.

Arab-Americans are refusing to vote for genocide at much, much higher rates than other ethnicities. My answer is what they have been saying themselves: they can't vote for continued genocide of their friends, family, and people of a similar background. Your answer is that it's because Arab-Americans are uniquely stupid among ethnicities in America, which is racist.

Me:

You:

Your answer is that it's because Arab-Americans are uniquely stupid

Why aren't White Christians abandoning Harris, but Arab-Americans are? Your answer thus far had been that Arab-Americans are stupid.

I don’t think anyone is calling anyone stupid for calling for an end to the genocide. But what’s stupid is when people think that Trump will somehow stop the genocide.

Oh and btw… I was banned from world news. LOL.

There was a commenter calling Arab-American voters stupid for abandoning Harris.

[–] lohky@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think anyone that is not a billionaire that is not voting for Harris is a fucking moron. My views aren't limited to Arab-Americans but I guess they can feel great about their virtue signaling while they're in Trump's deportation line getting sent to who knows where.

How are Arab-Americans being harmed by liberal democrat policies? Do you think Trump being elected will be better for Arab-Americans?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Their families are being genocided by liberal democrat policies. Some of them are even in Gaza right now, or their lifeless bodies are, anyway.

Also, dude, Arab is not the preferred nomenclature. Palestinian, please. Most are simply people who converted from Judaism to Christianity or Islam at some point, and some still practice Judaism to this day.

[–] lohky@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I'm confused how you believe that Israel's rabid ethnic cleansing campaign is a liberal democrat policy, but please do actually answer the question. Do you think Trump will be better for Arab Americans?

Also dude, there is literally an Arab American Institute that encompasses a lot more than just Palestinians lmao. Virtue signal harder please.

The Biden administration is aiding and abetting this genocide financially, materielly, and politically. This is as much the bipartisan US empire’s genocide as it is Israel’s.

I think you’re just trolling or hasbaraing.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Other than the genocide of their friends and relatives? Increased anti-immigrant policies, failures to address concerns of marginalized communities, failures of the liberal Capitalist system at large, etc.

They aren't voting for Trump either, most are going to Stein.

[–] lohky@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

A vote for Harris is a vote for Trump.
