I’m just saying it’s REALLY telling how *intensely* racist the US is when there are states *in the middle of an active primary* that are shutting it down so they can redistrict to prevent Black people from representation because SCOTUS said it’s OK to do a racism.

This is like racism speedruns.

Pigfuckers.

This never would have happened if the north actually made the south accountable for their bullshit.

@octothorpe I don't know, Boston really embarrassed itself during the 70s and 80s.

@octothorpe @lisamelton if one did not see that level of racism before, it was because: 1. they could get away with less of it in public and 2. one wasn’t really paying attention.

the u.s. has **always** being this racist, but now they’re on their hail mary play and will—believe your eyes—burn the country down before sharing it with the non-whites.

Racism fueled by greed is difficult to counter. Never let the racists profit. Tax the very idea of usurious wealth out of existence!

@jason entirely unintentional… where did you clip that?

@octothorpe wiktionary, mostly because it’s fairly descriptive and I don’t expect a lot of mainstream dictionaries to contain off-brand slurs. But it’s been one.

Pigfucker I can get behind (maybe not literally)

@jason ah! I was asking, as it wasn’t in my dictionary! So, yeah, Imma edit that. I also considered sheepshagger, but I’m in the US now, and I also say ‘fuck’ a lot.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

@octothorpe yeah I think it was a distant second to the _other_ anti-Muslim slur in the Afghanistan/Iraq war years but it just rang a bell with me (also because I was like “who raises goats here that’s pretty niche”)

And yeah the redistricting, hours after the decision, even before the official final formalities around the ruling itself are completed, is insane. Expected but jeez it’s rough out here.
