getBusy Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Why is anyone surprised? If you've never experienced diversity and grew up surrounded by people who like like you, you're going to be shocked when you're the only white person in the neighborhood. They can get used to it or leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satellites.™ Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Told yall, this is why black people have to ALWAYS be cautious of where we send our loyalties and who we ally with. These same people will stab us right in the back when they feel comfortable enough to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstreak Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I always wonder what the point of threads like this is besides to sow more division.

I can't speak for exactly why the OP posted the thread, but clearly it is a noteworthy story in highlighting that, even in situations where kindness and compassion are being shown, some of those in receipt of that goodwill can still find the time and space to perpetuate racism. It is bewildering. There is no such "magical country" but that doesn't mean we should just stand by and not CHECK people for negative attitudes that have no place in the struggle for a more harmonious and equal society.

Welcome to humanity, how are *you* checking them by posting an ATRL thread? I mean already in this thread we have people talking about Ukraine having a Nazi problem, what productive discourse is this particular thread producing besides “Ukraine bad” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sesame Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 This is so stupid. Every country has racist people, including your own.

So you're suggesting that "these threads" should just not be posted? That these issues should just not be discussed? It's not a case of "Ukraine bad" at least not for me. That is an abstraction and not what I'm saying. The reality is, there are certain people fleeing the warzone, moving to the U.K to accept safety placements and then throwing those placements back because "there are too many Muslims, too many black people" in the safe area they were placed. That is wrong. Period. The situation should not absolve those particular people of condemnation for prejudice of that degree. If you disagree, then there's not much more to discuss and that is a shame. Edited January 26, 2023 by Zack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attitude Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Not surprised. I remember those stories of black Ukranians being refused passage on trains leaving the affected areas. It's probably only just certain groups of people though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
