    Internment of Japanese Americans

    Stonewall riots

    United States heard change and shot Malcom X and MLK

    United States just got done having a president that supported segregation

    Dakota Access Pipeline protests

    Terry stops have allowed police to stop anyone at any time for any reason and arrest them for whatever the officer makes up

    not a complete list and again this is not unprecedented but just ramping up more of what was definitely already here

    only people not seeing are the sheltered ones in HOAs

      I’m aware of all of the terrible things that my government has done. I purposely said 80 years because of the internment of Japanese citizens is the closest thing to what’s happening. Still much different though. Not here for the hardship Olympics.

      If you know about history, and you pretend what’s happening isn’t unprecedented, then you’re being disingenuous.
