If #berners don't hate you, then you're ignoring a mountain of truth about GOP- and Putin-orchestrated sabotage and #CovertRacism.

#uspol #USPolitics

The VAST majority of Americans suffer from a condition known as #CovertRacism.

It's why an old white guy could get away with rebranding the black POTUS's healthcare reform to cater to those covert #racists who want to take away the black POTUS's legacy.

#Berniebros and #CovertRacism is what allowed fascism to get its foot in the door to begin with.

It's the most ignored obvious-fact I've ever known.

Personality cults make people extremely stupid.

I was trying to tell berners in 2016 that "M4A" was just a #CovertRacism rebranding of the black POTUS's steps made on healthcare reform, but being covert racists, they just called Obama a "corporatist" and refused to listen.

So thanks to them, we're now trying to stop cuts to Medicaid. Personality cults and racism make people stupid.

#CovertRacism in the USA might be an even bigger problem than overt racism. #BernieBros disagree with that vehemently.

Nice little example of your average #berniebro (replying to me).

#CovertRacism is rampant among #berniebros. I've debated with thousands of them since 2016.

Where US Founding Fathers, and six generations of presidents, publicly espoused white superiority, now that's a marginal public position.

But policies and covert prejudices that advantage whites are commonplace.

We might avoid this danger were we insistent that the immigrant, before he leaves foreign soil, is temperamentally keyed for our national background. There are racial considerations too grave to be brushed aside for any sentimental reasons. Biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend. The Nordics propagate themselves successfully. With our races, the outcome shows deterioration on both sides. Quality of mind and body suggests that observance of ethnic law is as great a necessity to a nation as immigration law.

We must remember that we have not only the present but the future to safeguard; our obligations extend even to generations yet unborn. The unassimilated alien child menaces our children, as the alien industrial worker, who has destruction rather than production in mind, menaces our industry. It is only when the alien adds vigor to our stock that he is wanted. The dead weight of alien accretion stifles national progress. But we have a hope that cannot be crushed; we have a background that we will not allow to be obliterated. The only acceptable immigrant is the one who can justify our faith in man by a constant revelation of the divine purpose of the Creator.

@Brightdave this is most definitely one of the more subtle ways it can present, which is why I hashtagged the original post with #CovertRacism.

But the truth is implicit bias is a thing and it can be just as cutting as being asked to 'go back to China'
(which I have also experienced. Much fun!)

I feel for your wife, and yes, it can definitely get much worse.

When you're a #POC #migrant cooking laksa for a large community event and a white council health inspector on a power trip decides to take apart your recipe and question you about *every single* minute step of your process because he is 'concerned about the preparation'... 🙄

(Was asked to elaborate on how I intend to blanch beansprouts, among other ridiculous things 🤪)

So you send back a point by point response, quoting FSANZ, holding temps and sanitising procedures, while also letting him know that you are a professional chef and have all the required food safety supervisor certifications.

You might say this isn't about colour...
But oh trust me. It is.
