I’ve already written about how you should not travel to the U.S. for at least ~5 years, but the country doesn’t stop surprising me in negative ways.
After felon and pedophile Donald Trump attacked yet another minority recently, the Somali-Americans, another wave of xenophobia became evident around the country. Many people all over the United States are now copying the behavior seen above, or supporting it in the comments, bullying what they think to be Somali related communities into “leaving their country”.
Racism against anyone seen as not white/american enough is at an all time high.
Freezing ALL childcare Funds
The Trump regime, after the allegations, decided to freeze funds to ALL childcare centers in ALL 50 states in a xenophobic and politically motivated move that disrupts essential services and singles out immigrant communities for excessive scrutiny without clear evidence of higher fraud rates.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins sent a letter to Minnesota threatening to disqualify the state from the SNAP program and cut funding if it didn’t recertify the eligibility of over 100,000 households and conduct in-person interviews within 30 days.
In summary, Trump yet again created an enemy for stupid americans to focus on, delaying consequences for his blatant corruption, pedophiliac past actions, horrible economic and social numbers, etc. And the fools fell for it again.
And they’ll keep falling for it, until they’re the target.
Widespread Racism
According to a June Gallup survey, 64% of Americans believe racism against Black people is widespread in the United States, tying with 2021 for the highest percentage recorded since measurement began in 2008. Perceptions vary significantly by demographic: 83% of Black adults view racism as widespread, compared to 64% of Hispanic adults and 61% of White adults. Among various daily interactions, dealing with the police is perceived as the most racially inequitable experience.
Historical trends show that belief in widespread racism has fluctuated over the last 15 years. The figure stood at 56% in 2008 and dipped to a low of 51% at the start of Barack Obama’s presidency in 2009. However, following several high-profile killings of Black people by police, the number jumped to 60% in 2015 and has remained elevated.
Conversely, the belief that racism against White people is widespread has dropped to 29%, the lowest point across five readings since 2008 and a significant decrease from 41% in 2016. This view is held at similar rates across Black, White, and Hispanic adults.
