Asking POC here on DU What they think of this slavery is making a comeback idea

As most of us have known for years, I assume most of us, that the whole maga movement, project 2025, Christian nationalism, it’s primarily about owning slaves again, mostly People of Color, this is pretty obvious I would think.

Or at a minimum the right for white people to abuse, underpay, discriminate openly against any and all minorities, for that matter, including LGBTQ, Jewish people, Muslims, the list goes on and on doesn’t it. Oh, and of course Women.

Show support and that nobody out there is alone when it comes to the madness and sickness that we are facing.

It’s a rhetorical question of course in that what could any person think other than, no fucking way, this is horrible, fuck this shit.

I also think it might serve some white people to hear minority communities and people of color etc. to explain just how this shit makes them feel, cause I can’t know, we can’t know just how horrible this must make someone feel.

YET. But most CERTAINLY your second (quote):

"Or at a minimum the right for white people to abuse, underpay, discriminate openly against any and all minorities, for that matter, including LGBTQ, Jewish people, Muslims, the list goes on and on doesn’t it. Oh, and of course Women."

And add to that, deprive us of the right to vote, or at LEAST, render our votes, inconsequential.
