http://twitter.com/MiddleEastEye/status/1380596409599148037 A Racist Lady started insulted Egyptian Americans in a Walgreen's Store. She called them ugly and insisted that they go back to their own country. Then called Cops on them, claiming she was being threatened. The Cop in the end asked her where she was from and she sheepishly answered "Ukraine". And when she was being arrested, she has the gall to say : "I have Muslim Friends"... The same sh*t over and over again. "I cannot be Racist because I have Black Friends/Muslim Friends/Asian Friends..." Racial/Religious Sensitivity Training should be compulsory in all Countries if they wish to consider themselves Civilized. IP: Logged |

Typical racial insensitivity, iQ. Her people suffered under the Ottoman Empire for centuries - invaded, brutalized, raped, enslaved. Is it any wonder she has an emotional response after sure severe generational trauma?IP: Logged |

She isn't in her own country, either, but didn't see it that way. IP: Logged |

Does it matter what country she is in? As if crossing make believe state lines or national borders eliminates centuries of abuse? Does that apply to American Jews or Syrian refugees? She still carries the trauma. IP: Logged |

We can empathize with the Trauma during a dialogue when historical atrocities are being discussed, not in a common shopping area. There is absolutely no rationalization. We never see them attack Germans like this in stores despite what Nazis did. It was unforgiveable racism. She is no different than those who tormented her ancestors. Othering the weak, calling cops on them etc.IP: Logged |

You are both mansplaining and policing tone. Let's not dictate to the oppressed and traumatized when and where they should exhibit their trauma. Trauma by definition compels victims to act out in ways their oppressors sometimes won't approve of.

Is it true that this country is barring India from getting what they need for vaccines? If it is, I’m not happy. We voted to get rid of the “America first” attitude, and were supposed to be helping, not hurting. It’s good that so many are getting vaccinated here, but not that cases are surging overseas, and developing these mutant viruses. JFC. Trump supporters know what they can do with any smirking they might do in response to this (or anything else). You worship the ground of someone who not only isn’t “most popular” on YouTube, by a long shot, he was voted out by many millions more than those who voted for him, and is most unpopular all over the world. The fact that you won’t criticize Trump, says everything about you, and not Biden, or the rest of us. IP: Logged |

Do you mean the person who got millions more votes the second time around, including more minority votes than any Republican presidential candidate in history, and who won 19 of the bell weather counties? That guy? If you are unhappy with Biden withholding the vaccine from India, you just wait. It’s only been 100 days. This guy is only getting started with the way he is going to negatively impact the world. China and Russia are now working together thanks to this fool.IP: Logged |

Another friend in India just said that the leader over there spent all the money on statues and things, and is holding maskless rallies (like grump), that it isn’t Biden’s fault.
