A conservative attempted to gaslight me by saying race is not the reason the right supports deportations

[LonePirate]

They tried to say the immigrants are trespassers and that is why people want them deported. I called them on that bullshit because the right never rails against white, European immigrants. It’s always the Latin/Hispanic, African and Asian immigrants they despise. Not only that but you can draw a straight line from white nationalist groups to the origins of the calls for deportations.

It is frightening how more people are starting to support widespread deportations. We need to do everything we can to make sure that never happens because the consequences are horrific if that process begins. There will be a surge in violence as people suspect someone else of being an undocumented immigrant and in turn will threaten, assault or kill them. Countless actual citizens will caught be up in the crossfire with either children losing their parents or siblings with many citizens deported as well because they don’t have citizenship papers on them when the jackboots come knocking. Plus, there is going to be massive economic upheaval as countless businesses and numerous industries will be wrecked overnight leading to shortages and drastically higher prices for almost everything.

We are potentially headed to the worst time in this country since the Civil War and it is 100% due to racism.

1. Right out of the Nazi playbook.

Who was a "real German" and who wasn't? Create in vs. out groups for nationalist unity.

Today it's "real Americans" for the same reason, nationalist unity, aka power grabbing politicians.

Hitler was not even German himself. Trump is the son and grandson of immigrants married to an immigrant.

2. Bingo.

3. The twilight zone did an episode

5. agreed

my English mum lived in America for DECADES and not once did someone tell her to "go back to where she came from"

it's all about color

6. Actually race is the biggest hoax ever. Latins and Hispanics are white as their ancestors were from Spain.

And people from Spain are white? no? Also if you watch any of the genealogy shows that use DNA most people called black are actually partly or mostly white? And while I'm at it, why are Jewish classed as a race? and how can a person with one white parent and one black parent be all black?

I know .... I know ... It's a perception thing.

And and we can't deport anyone we need people. Do you know how hard it is to get any white kids to work?

Don't yell at me
