Russia condemns racism against white Americans

Racism is about power dynamics. The balance of power is in white hands. Of course it's possible for a white person to suffer racism - travellers in the UK are white and suffer horrendous prejudices. At the same time, in this context it's just an attempt to suppress valid and legitimate protest movements.

From the article:

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday warned that anti-white racism might be building in the United States and said that political correctness “taken to the extreme” would have lamentable consequences.

“We were pioneers of the movement promoting equal rights of people of any skin color,” he said.

But Lavrov stressed it was important “not to switch to the other extreme which we saw during the ‘BLM’ (Black Lives Matter) events and the aggression against white people, white U.S. citizens.”

The only problem I see with Sergei's estimation, is that generally white people are well liked... And it's really hard to be racist against someone you like.

...Just look at how friendly the Canadians are.

Oh golly gee, I'm just so glad that Daddy Putin is looking out for little ol' me.

Unless of course they are Ukrainian then all bets are off.

They certainly wouldn’t be well-received in Zimbabwe where Robert Mugabe, a terrible leader who hates white people, stole all the white-owned farms in his country and handed them over to blacks who weren’t capable of running them, turning that country into a complete basket case.

Pootin's talking about Americans. This content is irrelevant.

By definition the white people of Zimbabwe aren't Americans.

Those "white-owned farms" existed because Europeans came to southern Africa and took the farms from the people who already lived there. Plus: "blacks who weren't capable of running them" maybe you should do a self-check on the way you use race in your posts.

If you are a sincere opponent of racism, you must oppose it no matter which group is the perpetrator and which group is the victim.

It's just that racism against white people has no real systemic effect. It is possible to affect outcomes for black people for generations with a well-aimed policy. You cannot do the same thing to white people at large. Bearing white skin is all advantage. Wherever you go it can be worn like a badge of honour. It entitles the owner to almost unrestricted freedom of movement. A white person can attend a "black nationalist" rally and do little more than attract a quizzical stare. A black person doing the same thing may well leave said rally having shed copious amounts of blood.

While it’s nice to see you being critical of a autocrat, (given your recent postings elsewhere), you seem to be boxing yourself in to an even tighter place, politically.

I said it was inexperienced blacks who weren't capable of running those farms. You willfully left out that word to make it sound like I made a racist remark, which I clearly didn't.

Time stamps say you edited the post @Hans Blaster quoted a few minutes ago. @Hans Blaster made his post in response to yours over a half an hour ago and your quoted post in his post doesn’t have the word “inexperience” in there. I think you went back and placed the word “inexperienced” in there to try to get @Hans Blaster in trouble for editing your post to make you look bad. If I’m wrong, which edit did you make that needed to be done a few minutes ago?

By the way, who remembers the popular lament of the mainstream media and their allies in Congress which, while Trump was president, went something like this: " America's standing in the world has crashed. Other countries don't respect us."

It wasn't true then, but in only two months the new administration made that charge become true.

Russian propaganda used to create more division in the US. Same thing they've been actively engaged in for several years.

Racism is wrong no matter who it's against.

Just in case you attempt to change what is written again. “Inexperience” is the only difference between what is currently there and what is in @Hans Blaster post.
