Reminder that the US is slowly committing genocide on Puerto Ricans through environmental racism and colonial repression.
Why does this only have so few notes?
Because half the reblogs are fucking conservatives that dont know the definition of environmental racism and are more concerned with discrediting “democrats” than doing anything for anybody. They got up on their white people pedestal to derail the entire post about real colonial issues. Now everyone is just missing the point.
I just didnt want to spread their comments so I wont reblog from them, sorry. I needed to vent.
Literally Puerto Rico is still under the responsibility of the U.S. government. You WOULD NOT see the government respond to white suburbaners with no fucking power for weeks with this:
[ video is Puerto Rico riots because of austerity cuts that are very severe. There are riot police everywhere. ]
The U.S. is the richest Empire in the world, it spends 20,000$ a second on maintaining this supremacy around the world. Yet it can’t find money to fix a few things in it’s own State. Hmmmm. Sounds deliberate.
