Climate. Crisis. Is. A. Thing. And. Will. Not. Spare. Anyone.
You Americans should stop be so fixated on "muh race", because civil rights are not going to save you from 120F weather and not being able to buy a house.
Like I said, that's quite the position of privilege you're coming from.
What basic human rights have been denied to you? When has a whole town tried to murder you?
Climate change.
Climate change.
Climate change.
Repeating "climate change" doesn't answer my questions:
What basic human rights have been denied to you? When has a whole town tried to murder you?
Please disabuse me of my prediction that the answer to the first one is "none" and the second one is "never."
Ok, I have been lucky enough to never have my rights denied, because I don't even live in America.
Maybe you people need to realize that many people don't miss people black people being hanged, but being able to run a house with one salary, not having crazy seasons, the Earth not hitting warmth records every year, a not corporatized world and not having youth with their brains fried by Tiktok.
And yet you are insistent that a black person in 1964 was better off than a black person in 2024, which is just demonstrably false. I demonstrated it already.
And not just America. Most of Africa was oppressed by white European colonists.
No, I never said that. I said that the average Westerner had it better in, say, 1984/94 than 2024.
Again- we were talking about the 1960s. The person you responded to made that clear. I made that clear. Everything I referenced was about the 1960s and you kept saying climate change makes today worse.
You are either being dishonest or not reading anyone's posts before you respond.
You're right, sorry, forgot about the first comment of the chain. Still doesn't change my point.
