We no longer have access to any solid data on this. But hospital admissions is a good data point with relative stability.

    Hating Africans and black people because…well that’s just normal.

    And Latinos are still “illegal foreigners” to a lot of people, even if they’ve been here for generations.

        All patriotism in the US is white supremacy. The entire nation and every aspect of it was founded on principles of white supremacy.

        The “founding fathers” were rich white property and slave owning Christian men who didn’t want to pay taxes. The thirteen colonies were stolen and the indigenous all but eradicated. The fifty states is all more stolen land from people who were all but eradicated. The thirteen stripes and the fifty stars on their beloved flag all represent this.

        None of the founding documents include any language which elevates any minorities to equals save the “women can vote” amendment. All the 13th did was change the name of forced labor for minorities from “slavery” to “imprisonment”. And since a huge portion of prisoners can’t vote the amendment allowing the black vote is toothless.

        Also you still need to have an address to vote, so while you don’t necessarily need to be a “property owner” anymore, the homeless are still being fucked over.

        So yeah, this country needs a hard reset button. The founding fathers need to be remembered not as heroes but as criminals, the flag completely replaced to something completely different, not a single fucking drop of resemblance, the borders redrawn for indigenous liberation (ie “land back”), all present colonial territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, etc) the option of independence, all documents put to history and remade for the modern communist era, the name of the country and each remaining state changed (it represents a minority portion of the Americas and we have no right to monopolize the name for an entire two continents, and many state names appropriate names from the indigenous, the very people we massacred), all branches of the military disbanded and replaced with a Peoples’ Army, Navy, etc., all branches of government disbanded and restructured to fit a government for the working class and not some elites, etc etc the list goes on.
