This thread, right here.
The idea is that white men today are unnaturally paying for the sins of the past. But the truth is that white men of the past, who faced an unnaturally cleared field, didn't have to pay natural costs of their present.
White men now have to compete with diverse voices. Nothing's been taken.

This is a LOLSOB for the ages.
Brutal but effective public health messaging from New York Public Health.
The CDC is compromised. They’re no longer a reliable source of information.
They push anti-vaxx & anti-science grift.
Get your vaccines. Wear a respirator. Clean the air
Get public health advice from experts, not RFK Jr
