This is a phenomenon that has long fascinated me. For a significant portion of the American population, BEING racist is a much more acceptable position than being CALLED racist.
It’s funny that even now, with everything we know, there’s still a retreat towards treating racism as somehow uniquely unbelievable.

Break $74k and we enter the cool zone where we start hunting Michael Saylor's magic numbers.
If he and his 649k BTC ever turned into a forced seller, boy howdy. Look out below. bsky.app/profile/foll...

Well we said Black and Asian home secretaries are used as a shield to implement racist policies a white man couldn’t get away with and there’s no starker example than this. The worst kind of identity politics.

79 yr old sent to Trump's tropical concentration camp after 70+ years as a resident alien in America. The cruelty is astounding.
His birth in a post WWII refugee camp adds a strange twist. Perhaps, if he could demonstrate his Polish parents were Nazi sympathizers, it would help is case with ICE.

Not that crypto currency sucks and is a purely speculative gamble with a huge losses, of course, but I figured Trump / Silicon Valley / Wall Street would've kept the Bitcoin bubble better inflated for longer.

Asked about Tommy Robinson supporting her asylum plans Shabana Mahmood replies that "Tommy Robinson doesn't even think I'm actually English, so he will certainly not be supporting anything I've got to say."
But he is supporting what she's got to say. That was the point of the question
