  That conservatism works by creating an "other" to blame all of their problems on. It's very comforting for a certain type of person. All of their problems exist because too many brown people live in their city. Same strategy has played out over and over again. Sometimes we have to put them down like Nazi Germany. Too often we let them off with a slap on the wrist like we do with Republicans every single election cycle regardless of the damage they do. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - Lyndon B. Johnson

    For the record I’m not white. And also it seems like you’re the racist one. Nobody was talking about anyone’s skin color or ethnicity, but that’s the first thing that you brought to the discussion. As a non white foreigner living in Germany, I think people like you are the biggest problem in the society which makes everything about racism and bully people into silence that actually prevents people from having an honest, respectful and truthful conversation about the actual issues in the society

      And I think people like you are the biggest problems in society. Someone willing to sell out your own people to support blatant racist parties like the AFD. You think that they will accept you because you're one of the "Good Minorities". But this story has played out over and over again throughout history. Tokens get spent. And that's all you can ever be to them. I hope your wake up isn't the same as what Hispanic MAGA are experiencing in this country. Never mind. I hope it is. I hope you get the life you vote for other people to experience.

Just say it out loud. Germany is for white immigrants.
