    Good job by them to have fun with it and troll a terrible politician at the same time.

    This is still so unreal to me. Absolutely NO media attention. Really scary.

    @cshadows2887 @St. Nate
    I'm talking about MENA minorities who feel this way not white people, and the power dynamics of Muslims in MENA vs all poc in America is not the same. That's what I'm focusing on. Besides, my dad didn't grow up in the US.

    Read these again:

    Curious Cat - 135862982

    I've pasted these before I'm sure, but they're worth re reading so people understand. Nobody is forcing you all to agree but I've been trying to get people to at least see where they're coming from because of ignorance and dismissal from the left entirely. They feel desperate and like they have no choice. And yet, still I only ask for understanding, not necessarily agreement. I'm letting people know about certain experiences and perspectives that most in the West don't even know about.

    I understand being in the West changes their dynamics but they don't see it that way when it's largely the right wing that gives them the most press and attention after so long of trying to reach out to people.

    You can go on all you want about why it's wrong for them to feel this way, but it would be hypocritical for anyone to say that if they only see oppressed vs oppressor in one area or context. I've repeatedly said all this a dozen times though. Like I said, it's more complex and unique in this situation, even if you feel the same because you hear the same rhetoric.

    Anyway if people understand now, and don't consider us "white working class", if there are solutions or ways forward I'd like to know. Maybe let me know of leftist blogs, media, outlets etc that would possibly reply to emails, considering I tried with pakman and kulinski and got nothing.

    Every time he keeps saying how close they were, I just keep thinking of that scene where the Prince of Monaco keeps telling the Winklevoss twins how "excruciatingly close" the race they lost was in The Social Network.
