Emma Monks (of Emma Monks Debunks) has a great post on how the Daily Telegraph (presumably on a 'quiet news day') took some past reports on diversity in the countryside, and through selective quotation & misrepresentation generated a right wing horror story that rippled out across the Right media.

Its worth reading through Monk's analysis just to see how the Right manufacture issues for them to generate outrage around... pretty instructive stuff.

These are the faces of a very few of the thousands of children murdered in Israel's #PalestinianGenocide in #Gaza!

Will you *ever* remember them too or will you persist in valuing Jewish lives above the lives of Palestinians?

The bottom line is, while this incident does show that yes, other online communities experience anti-Black racism as well, what makes a difference is the response of that community. Eg. outpouring of support vs questioning and gaslighting the victim.

(And I'm sure the presence of reply controls helps!)

Fediverse has such a long way to go.

Recently published, peer-reviewed research for University of Virginia shows that Trump’s ability to degrade his white supporters’ moral sensibilities is real & measurable.

Trump thinks depicting black people as apes/monkeys is okay. He just said so.

He's daring you to do something about it.

Two huge things impact what makes us think Black and poor neighborhoods are “high crime”:

- Cops spend way more time in these neighborhoods and by virtue of their presence, record more crime. This accounts for the 57% difference in crime rates. https://direct.mit.edu/rest/article/107/6/1734/117710/Smartphone-Data-Reveal-Neighborhood-Level-Racial

- Officer discretion (the ability for a cop to decide the outcome of an incident, including warnings, tickets, arrest, or ignoring it all together) is very different by neighborhood. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0047235221000490

"For anyone who had ever wondered how the Germans turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, we are living through the answer. ...

We are not the Nazis. That means we have an obligation to say watchful and keep protesting. We have to loudly reject the people who are trying to take us there."

"I don’t think MAGA will change course; I don’t think it can change course.

So Trump’s war on immigrants is turning into a war against the decency of the American people. And it would be stupid as well as immoral to refuse to choose sides."

"The public is not on the side of the thugs. ...

But hatred of and brutality toward people of color are fundamental to Trump’s identity. He & his minions have responded to revulsion against their ethnic cleansing efforts by denying the reality of that revulsion, claiming that all the protesters & resisters are paid activists, & by doubling down on the brutality."

"The sin and stain of racism within white Christian nationalism is but another piece of rotten fruit from a long-diseased tree. It is in this history that we see how white supremacy is—and always has been—intimately intertwined with idolizing power, fear, and violence in the calls to make the United States a Christian nation."

I'm surprised about your experience. As a European, I thougt, that #US/#Gilead (and other American) #immigration works as easy as:

"You go there, kill the existing population, and settle. Optionally, BYOS (bring your own slaves) from elsewhere."

It used to be like that. Good ol' times.
