My Trumper cousin now thinks he understands what it's like to be treated like a minority

Because, get this:

He got a bunch of dirty looks when he intentionally took off his mask and shopped in Target for an hour. You know, like the looks he'd give a black guy, assuming a black guy was ever seen in our backwater rural hick town (btw, there are no black people within 10 miles of our hometown. White as the Minnesota snow).

Yeah, he's also an anti-masker to boot

Despite being a college-educated man in his late 30's, he was stupid enough to post his thoughts on Facebook. The smackdown his friends gave him was a thing of beauty. The only support he got was from his Handmaiden fundie wife. She posted a video from YouTube on the dangers of mask wearing 🤣

My Puerto Rican wife cringed so hard when I showed it to her, I thought she was going to have a seizure. Then she raged about it for 3 days straight. SHE knows what it's like to be racially profiled.

It's a good thing Thanksgiving was cancelled this year.

Remember when they used to insist bigotry didn't exist anymore. I mean, you got a black president so we're equal now, right?

Now it's all about white people and men and Christians insisting they're the ones being discriminated against.

Yeah, they got looked at funny. Pretty much the same thing as having your life's possessions taken and getting evicted and have to sneak your way through two countries and out of a third before the authorities spot you or you get turned in and sent to a concentration camp. Just for being a minority.

Yeah, pretty much the same thing.

Minorities don’t deserve prejudice, he does.

Going maskless is pure selfishness.

He would bust several of our African-American friend's balls saying that police aren't profiling them. They were just making it up because of their poor driving or something else. Then 9/11 happened and we were about a mile from the towers and saw the shit go down. Several people we knew died in it.

Well, for the next couple of months, he kept saying that everywhere he drove, he'd get pulled over at last once. He was on the verge of tears being profiled for Middle Eastern, and then he said, "Now I understand what it's like to be a black man.' Well, that didn't go over with our friends. They were like, 'How the fuck do you know what it's like to be black?' For a couple of years, his whining would always come up when we went out to the bars.

One of the things that absolutely kills me is when individuals in the majority start getting bent out of shape when they think that they are being treated like a minority. What?! The irony and lack of self awareness is astonishing.

I hope someone nails him next time he goes out happily infecting others. Some people need to be hit in the wallet a few times.

Standing up to bullying from Mom or Grandma isn't easy but telling them you don't want to risk killing them is a great reason to skip it..

A fellow nurse from Puerto Rico taught me most of my dirty Spanish. I've always been grateful.

I'm sorry your cousin is a twit. Maybe after Dumdum is out of office and Limbag goes off the air the fever will break. In any case, you might mention people always resent jerks who are trying to kill them.

There was a cartoon/image that white Protestant Christians were afraid that they would eventually become a minority.

Punchline: Why? Are minorities treated differently?
