chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoI’m trying to understand the logical conclusion of your viewpoint. Do you believe even the victims of racial oppression, often also in the form of voter suppression, are responsible for all the crimes past and present of the country they found themselves trapped in?
Are you also personally responsible for any reprehensible behavior the country you were born in has committed, past or present?

I’m responsible for the actions of the governments I vote for, and those of the governments I don’t rebel against. As are American citizens.
Many of the victims of racial oppression in the USA had no problem voting for Trump, or previous criminals who held offices in their government. I’m sure most of them happily voted for Obama, another mass murderer like the majority of US presidents in history.
Because as all Americans they share those rotten core values, and will happily vote for anyone who’ll act like a bully and harm the weak, ignoring that he’ll also hurt them.
