My grandpa fought against the Japanese Imperial Army in Malaysia back then, when he was alive, he told me lots of these horrible things he saw during the war. 1 thing he taught me is, always remember not all the Japanese are bad, just because 1 person did terrible things to you, doesn’t mean his whole family/races/nation are equally bad as him. He basically taught me not be a racist, and everyone are equal.

My Mexican American/Filipino American family during that time took care of two homes in the South Bay of Los Angeles. San Pedro. For a Japanese American Family interned in Manzanar, near Lone Pine Ca. When they returned, everything was the way they left it but their grocery and egg business was sold to whites for pennies on the dollar. They regrouped and ended up owning other businesses by the mid fifties. To this day, my mexican/Filipino family feel were part of theirs and vice versa.
You should look up the story of Ralph Lazo, a young Mexican American who voluntarily spent two years imprisoned in Manzanar in solidarity with his Japanese American friends.
@@on2wheels378 word! I had only heard of his story in the past few years, of course he kept at it :) I hope no one ever has to experience this again, we all have to watch out for each other. I’m Japanese-American myself, my family lived in Riverside before they were forced into camp.
I wonder why? Since the US has ALWAYS been so transparent and tots honest about every single atrocity it ever commited. Just like EVERY other former or new colonial power. Were you thought about the US-Philippine war or the so called 'forgotten' (for reasons of more atrocious war crimes than 'Nam) Korean war?
Dear Paul, I am so sorry this horrible crime was committed to you, your family, and the others! Thank you for teaching us more about this sad part of history. Blessings I pray on you and your family.
You do you realize this happened to every race in every country right.... It was 1940s we didnt have computers or technology. The world was a very different place.
@@tburr7502 i suppose that means we should ignore it huh? you'd like us to look past these things, but you're supposed to learn from history little buddy. Not pretend it never happened or wasn't as bad as survivors claim. You want us to look past the children being held in camps right now, don't you?
Wow. What a powerful message and strong story. Thank god for people like this man who survived and cohesively tells his story so people can begin to understand the damage these “internment” camps really do.
>ank god for people like this man who survived They pretty much all survived... Those were not extermination camps, they were essentially in a POW camp. They had it easy compared to those who were drafted to go fight and die in the war.
I hate that I didn’t learn this at all in school. What happened to those in Europe and here in the US should be taught. Thankfully because of social media we are able to learn of the new atrocities of this country with what’s going on with children coming from South of the border.
I grew up 30 miles from the camps in Utah. I didn't learn about it in school and no one talked about it in the community. My grandfather showed me where and told me all about it when i was 18 and considering the military. He was shocked they didn't talk about it and wanted me to know just how inglorious and heartbreaking war can be. Really was a big moment in my life.
Its taught in most places in America lol. you just had a bad education. 1940 was a very different time, but it was common to do this stuff when you were at war with a country. Japan literally just bombed pearl harbor, even though the innocent Japanese immigrants had nothing to do with it, it was 1940 the Government didn't know any better. They also weren't sending them there to their death it was just temporary detainment.
@@tburr7502 I get what you are saying and I don't want to just jump to conclusions and say that it was racism without looking at it as objective as I can. The Germans that lived in America were never put into camps. Sure, most of them lived far longer in the US than most of the Japanese people. However there was a nazi movement in America and several german-amsricans went to the third Reich to fight for it. There were no fanatical organizations like that full of Japanese nationalists, which were directly supporting their ancestral homeland. Or rather I have never heard of any and if they did existed, they probably were never that big. I am not saying that the Germans should have been put into camps, but why weren't they when there was real extremism and support for the enemy in parts of that community? Sure a lot of American Nazım were later prosecuted and maybe even some innocent people, but why not at the same scale as the Japanese-Americans were? I mean after they put these people into camps, they also forced them to fight in their war. Of course they weren't allowed to fight in the pacific, but again soldiers of German heritage were send to europe and north Africa to fight Nazis. So we're Italian americans. And after all that, those Japanese soldiers still showed that they were not above serving and fought bravely for a country that didn't even trust them or respect them. They were forced to fight and they still performed their duties. America is an enigma. It makes no sense.
They did the same thing to us in Japan. Watch the rising sun with Christian bale and Ben Stiller. No one is innocent in times of war just doing what it takes to survive.
When ever a senior who curses that may normally not curse, you know they're royally pissed off lol. I encourage anyone to look into this type of history. Living in the Pacific NorthWest im still uncovering these types of stories. These sad truths are rich over here and its worth taking the time to learn about it. Pretty crazy to see even after all these years that the same stuff is still happening to this day.
I'm from PNW too... What part are you in? Any additional info you could share would be appreciated, as I find this type of info important & informative. I like to share with my young kids as well)
My grandfather started a bowling league with interned Japanese in Idaho after the war and was close friends with many! He even let them stay in the basement during and after the war.
I see people saying that calling them “concentration camps” is over the top. It is when compared to the ones used by the Nazis for example. However, concentration camp is the correct name. From the Brittanica encyclopaedia- concentration camp, internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military order.
I believe the term "concentration camp" and "internment camp" and "imprisonment camp" are grammatically correct. An ethnic group was gathered and concentrated into a small geopgraphic area. In that regard they were like the "concentration camps" in Europe. However, the eurpoean's goals were to murder directly and indirectly (forced labor, starvation, and disease) the selected groups (Jews, Roma, Gay, physically infirm) that were forced into those camps. I use the word "europeans", because there were many more perpetrators than german. There were many Europeans that took great joy in the murder of 'other'.
Im glad i watched the whole video..My father was a POW and survived the Bataan Death March in the Philippines. The Japanese military was brutal to our soldiers...

This happened to my in-laws. My ex-husband wasn’t born yet, his brother was. They took everything from them then years later the gov gave them a check but it took like 40 something years. My brother in law died before he got his check. I appreciate videos like this so that I can share them with my my children.
Camp Amache in southeast Colorado in the town of Granada is on the verge of becoming a national park. My brother in law runs the program and has done amazing things to keep this part of history alive and remembered so everyone can learn what actually happened and what went on. They are in the process of trying to rebuild some buildings amongst other things. Feel free to look it up!

My family was there too. VICE, thank you for filming this, but you failed to note that the day you uploaded this video, February 17, is the Japanese-American Day of Remembrance, and 2022 marks the 80th anniversary since the signing of Executive Order 9066, the action which led to the incarceration of Japanese Americans. NEVER AGAIN.
Over 130,000 Allied civilians - 50,000 men, 42,000 women and 40,000 children - were interned by the Japanese in the Far East during the Second World War. The majority of them were Dutch nationals from the Netherlands East Indies. Internees included colonial officials and their families, employees of European companies and the families of servicemen. More than 14,000 civilian internees were to die as a result of their internment. Internees were held in more than 350 camps across the Far East. In the internment camps conditions were severe. Food and clothing were generally in short supply and facilities were basic. Conditions varied according to the location of the camps. Those on mainland China fared relatively well, but conditions in the Netherlands East Indies were among the worst and casualties from disease and malnutrition were high.
Thankfully with the Education system banning books and teaching things that make white america "uncomfortable", they do not need to ever deal with it. Winning!!!
Not too different from the cult of leader in North Korea. The beauty of this is everyone thinks they're "free" in America because guns while NK citizen actually realize they are being fed bullshit.
I was lucky enough to go to a school in Utah where minority studies were heavily focused on in History classes. I learned so much about people who have suffered in America, and I am grateful for it. I have been an avid reader of historical literature and textbooks ever since then. I hope kids now still get what I got.
Thanks for this. My grandfather who was born in the US was sent to a concentration camp, and he refused to fight for the US and so they deported him to Japan.
I remember learning about this in high school, didn’t go as in depth as this video but I did learn we sent Japanese Americans to American concentration camps. Maybe your state doesn’t require having this in their curriculum but they teach this in California.
My great grandfather was put in a Japanese concentration camp & he wasn’t even Japanese. He was a Filipino-America who also served in the US Navy. What a horrible shame smh

My wife of 27+years is Japanese and her family is from Nagasaki. When I decided to introduce her to my family in North Idaho, I called my grandmother and told her about this special lady I wanted her to meet...at the end I said oh by the way she happens to be Japanese.. My grandmother got real quiet.. I asked grandma are you there? She just said two words, World War II..My family lost several members in the Pacific durring WWII and I remembered it was the 55th anniversary of the end of the war. I replied grandma, neither I or my wife were born then..so I had several reservations and was not sure what to expect when I finally arrived. Later I took off and returned and found my mom, grandmother and my future wife at a table all laughing as if they had been friends for years.. I was relieved. Many years later I had the chance to ask my grandmother what had changed about the way she looked at my wife? She told me it took a while but it was my words neither I or she were born then... That simple statement was what she needed to move on from the past! Now my wife and I have 2 boys 12 and 17yrs old and have dual citizenship as my wife is still a Japanese citizen and my local congresswoman is Doris Matsui. Her and her husband Robert were intoured in the Japanese camps as children.. Her husband Robert Matsui was a distinguished Congressman for the Sacramento area for many many years and is highly thought of to this day and his wife Doris Matsui still serves in her husband's seat in the U.S. Congress after he passed from cancer. I will always be grateful for the help I recived for my service connected disability when I was injured while serving in the U.S. Army 31yrs ago. I know how much this community appreciates thier service to this community over the many decades they chose to call Sacramento thier home. Thank You so much to the Matsui family for working tirelessly all these years for my community!! A disabled US Army Veteran
I appreciate that he compared what happened to him to what happens to Mexican children today. I thought people forgot about that issue now that Biden is in office.
There was a Japanese camp in Seabrook South Jersey. They eventually turned the little houses into low income housing. They were there up until about 20 years ago. They took them down and built more section eight housing.
@MKULTRABOOST Have you thought that two nuclear bombs that the US threw on Nagasaki and Hiroshima were war crimes? They were used against civilians, not against enemy bases, forces etc. Think about that before you dare lecture others.
So horrible. And such a tragedy that things like this still happen! Right now Uyghur people, or people who look "too Uyghur" or even are just from certain areas are imprisoned or even killed in concentration camps in China! The CCP dictatorship is just unfathomably evil. Racism and discrimination MUST end, but it never will until we educate ourselves AND stand up for one another.

Of course, you're not gonna learn about that cause they think it's shameful, and it is.
No it's a concentration camp. The term has absolutely nothing to do with what you think about. Concentration camps existed for centuries and pretty much every nation used them at one point. A concentration camp is the correct term, you just mix it up with an extermination camp. They are not the same.
thats part of the eupheism treadmill, originally concentration camps was the euphemistic term the British used in the Boer War. Internment camp ws the next term.

Non of this stuff has been kept secret from the American people. Just because a generation of kids didn't want to listen in school doesn't mean everyone is ignorant to history. What's the best way to keep hatred and racism alive? Keep talking about it. Just like if someone asked you why you're upset and you say you're not. But they keep asking and saying "I don't know, you seem pissed", until finally you're pissed off and they say "I knew it!". Saying sorry isn't gonna fix what was done and dwelling on it is even worse. Flowing water never grows stale and the only person you're supposed to better than is the person you were yesterday.

It's called free will and interests, as well as my hobby. You sound like a Joe Rogan Zombie bud. Obviously you're just as lost as the rest of those small minded sheep and can continue living your "American dream." It's hilarious because America lied to foreigners to come and build America. Now you're really telling me that if you cheated on your wife and she and you moved on from it and didn't talk about it, it wouldn't kill your relationship? Little things over time would build up and it wouldn't even matter about the cheating, all of it would build up around it with it and then BAM an argument. Learn perspectives because even though a different thing total different scenario, the analogy implies the same concept
My husband is 3rd gen Japanese American and my kids 4th gen mixed Asian. It's not apology that the new generations are looking for but a recognition that it's part of American History, good or bad. We tell our kids this history because it's their ancestor's American experience. You literally don't get much information about this unless you live in an area that covers Asian Am history in more details like in the Bay Area (California) or in college in Asian Am classes. I know it was glossed over in the history books I had in HS growing up in the Central Valley in CA. They need to know it so history doesn't repeat itself. Many of the people who were put in the concentration camps were American citizens, born and raised here including my in-laws who were children at the time.

And they were compensated by the government in other words, they received reparations. If you feel sorry for them then you should be outraged that black American descendants of slaves that endured 1000x worse haven’t been compensated. They haven’t even received a formal apology from the government.
You realize that the majority of Americans didn't even show up until after 1910? How exactly are you going to take money and give it families that came from a history of being slaves without effecting the majority of Americans who literally had nothing to do with it? Should Irish, Italians, and pollacks also get it as well?
Affirmative action is literally that. And if you think for a second that every single day there isn't an official apology from somebody in government, what are you even watching on television? All I see 24/7 is bowing and scraping. It'll never ever be enough.
@@Gurziak Doesn’t matter. The majority of Americans had nothing to do with the Japanese internment camps. Plus, the government practiced other forms of institutionalized racism against blacks. Red lining, happened after slavery and the effects are present today. Black soldiers that fought in WWII were denied access to benefits that were included in the G.I. bill while white soldiers were given free land and free education. Besides that freed slaves had a contract between them and the government promising them 40 acres and a mule. The government still owes them, and that means taxpayers will flip the bill. I mean we’re paying Ukraine to defend themselves against Russia. That’s not my problem, so why am I paying to defend Ukraine.
@@OG_SWAGG sure I am. And I know the government has bent over backwards for the last 60 years. But it's never been enough. I see modern black culture in America destroying itself. I see who is actually killing black folks every day en masse. It's other black folks. Do you think a massive reparation payment would fix anything? Within a few years things would be back to baseline, probably worse. Cuz the problem isn't money. It's so much deeper. Do you know how much money the government has dumped into trying to help the inner cities? It would surprise you. Over the years, hundreds of BILLIONS have been put into it. And it's been a money sink with 0 return. And things are now worse than ever. I have a set of eyes and can see whats in front of my face. I see the culture underlying the problem. Until that root issue is fixed, nothing is gonna change.
Wait till you find out that after the war, Japanese Americans came back to their homes and businesses and saw that they had been seized and sold to other people along with their belongings
This doc was so good for how short is was. And the fact that they mentioned the fema camps is fucking great. History repeats itself and it shouldn't be all the bad parts.
My great grandfather was the person they approached in Seattle to print pro-govt propaganda lies about these camps through his news paper to the Japanese American citizens......James Sakamoto also the founder of the Japanese American citizens League after. These were people born here to naturalized citizens,the mentioned immigration camps is disgusting and worse than forgetting history. The current immigration situation compared to Japanese internment is what's called "trivializing history" where we make an attrocity seem like a lesser crime against people......that's is a garuntee it will happen again.
Racism is alive and well in America (and around the world), even though many white Americans would argue "there is no racism in America", and these are the same people calling me woke for pointing that out. This world is truly upside down, and I don't think we will ever see the end of it.

They also weren't sending them there to their death it was just temporary detainment.
What school do you attend lmao? Everybody i've ever heard of has been taught about this and the supreme court case around it.
you were not taught this in school? or you just didn't pay attention? We are taught about this stuff in Australia
@@tburr7502 I get what you are saying and I don't want to just jump to conclusions and say that it was racism without looking at it as objective as I can. The Germans that lived in America were never put into camps. Sure, most of them lived far longer in the US than most of the Japanese people. However there was a nazi movement in America and several german-amsricans went to the third Reich to fight for it. There were no fanatical organizations like that full of Japanese nationalists, which were directly supporting their ancestral homeland. Or rather I have never heard of any and if they did existed, they probably were never that big. I am not saying that the Germans should have been put into camps, but why weren't they when there was real extremism and support for the enemy in parts of that community? Sure a lot of American Nazım were later prosecuted and maybe even some innocent people, but why not at the same scale as the Japanese-Americans were? I mean after they put these people into camps, they also forced them to fight in their war. Of course they weren't allowed to fight in the pacific, but again soldiers of German heritage were send to europe and north Africa to fight Nazis. So we're Italian americans. And after all that, those Japanese soldiers still showed that they were not above serving and fought bravely for a country that didn't even trust them or respect them. They were forced to fight and they still performed their duties. America is an enigma. It makes no sense.
I have always wanted to hear someone speak about this. Thank you for sharing your story.
A lot of Washington residents out here don’t know that the Washington(Puyallup) state fair grounds were once a concentration camp.
Yep my friends grandma never set foot on that place again after she left after the war. She found it slickening it was turned to a fair ground.

Living in the Pacific NorthWest im still uncovering these types of stories. These sad truths are rich over here and its worth taking the time to learn about it. Pretty crazy to see even after all these years that the same stuff is still happening to this day.

My grandfather started a bowling league with interned Japanese in Idaho after the war and was close friends with many! He even let them stay in the basement during and after the war.
I see people saying that calling them “concentration camps” is over the top. It is when compared to the ones used by the Nazis for example. However, concentration camp is the correct name. From the Brittanica encyclopaedia-
concentration camp, internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree or military order.
I believe the term "concentration camp" and "internment camp" and "imprisonment camp" are grammatically correct. An ethnic group was gathered and concentrated into a small geopgraphic area. In that regard they were like the "concentration camps" in Europe. However, the eurpoean's goals were to murder directly and indirectly (forced labor, starvation, and disease) the selected groups (Jews, Roma, Gay, physically infirm) that were forced into those camps. I use the word "europeans", because there were many more perpetrators than german. There were many Europeans that took great joy in the murder of 'other'.
word salad... they were placed there innocently against their will by a Democrat named FDR.
Im glad i watched the whole video..My father was a POW and survived the Bataan Death March in the Philippines. The Japanese military was brutal to our soldiers...

This happened to my in-laws. My ex-husband wasn’t born yet, his brother was. They took everything from them then years later the gov gave them a check but it took like 40 something years. My brother in law died before he got his check. I appreciate videos like this so that I can share them with my my children.
Camp Amache in southeast Colorado in the town of Granada is on the verge of becoming a national park. My brother in law runs the program and has done amazing things to keep this part of history alive and remembered so everyone can learn what actually happened and what went on. They are in the process of trying to rebuild some buildings amongst other things. Feel free to look it up!

My family was there too. VICE, thank you for filming this, but you failed to note that the day you uploaded this video, February 17, is the Japanese-American Day of Remembrance, and 2022 marks the 80th anniversary since the signing of Executive Order 9066, the action which led to the incarceration of Japanese Americans. NEVER AGAIN.
Over 130,000 Allied civilians - 50,000 men, 42,000 women and 40,000 children - were interned by the Japanese in the Far East during the Second World War. The majority of them were Dutch nationals from the Netherlands East Indies.
Internees included colonial officials and their families, employees of European companies and the families of servicemen. More than 14,000 civilian internees were to die as a result of their internment.
Internees were held in more than 350 camps across the Far East. In the internment camps conditions were severe. Food and clothing were generally in short supply and facilities were basic. Conditions varied according to the location of the camps. Those on mainland China fared relatively well, but conditions in the Netherlands East Indies were among the worst and casualties from disease and malnutrition were high.

I was lucky enough to go to a school in Utah where minority studies were heavily focused on in History classes. I learned so much about people who have suffered in America, and I am grateful for it.

Thanks for this. My grandfather who was born in the US was sent to a concentration camp, and he refused to fight for the US and so they deported him to Japan.
That is not good. I hope he ended up ok. When will American politicians learn that immigrants are absolutely essential to America and our future?

No, German and Italian Americans were interred as well, my grandfather from Sicily was in a camp in California
My wife of 27+years is Japanese and her family is from Nagasaki. When I decided to introduce her to my family in North Idaho, I called my grandmother and told her about this special lady I wanted her to meet...at the end I said oh by the way she happens to be Japanese.. My grandmother got real quiet.. I asked grandma are you there? She just said two words, World War II..My family lost several members in the Pacific durring WWII and I remembered it was the 55th anniversary of the end of the war. I replied grandma, neither I or my wife were born then..so I had several reservations and was not sure what to expect when I finally arrived. Later I took off and returned and found my mom, grandmother and my future wife at a table all laughing as if they had been friends for years.. I was relieved. Many years later I had the chance to ask my grandmother what had changed about the way she looked at my wife? She told me it took a while but it was my words neither I or she were born then... That simple statement was what she needed to move on from the past! Now my wife and I have 2 boys 12 and 17yrs old and have dual citizenship as my wife is still a Japanese citizen and my local congresswoman is Doris Matsui. Her and her husband Robert were intoured in the Japanese camps as children.. Her husband Robert Matsui was a distinguished Congressman for the Sacramento area for many many years and is highly thought of to this day and his wife Doris Matsui still serves in her husband's seat in the U.S. Congress after he passed from cancer. I will always be grateful for the help I recived for my service connected disability when I was injured while serving in the U.S. Army 31yrs ago. I know how much this community appreciates thier service to this community over the many decades they chose to call Sacramento thier home. Thank You so much to the Matsui family for working tirelessly all these years for my community!! A disabled US Army Veteran
I appreciate that he compared what happened to him to what happens to Mexican children today. I thought people forgot about that issue now that Biden is in office.
There was a Japanese camp in Seabrook South Jersey. They eventually turned the little houses into low income housing. They were there up until about 20 years ago. They took them down and built more section eight housing.

@MKULTRABOOST yes definitely, but this does not excuse any others to commit lesser crimes.

So horrible. And such a tragedy that things like this still happen! Right now Uyghur people, or people who look "too Uyghur" or even are just from certain areas are imprisoned or even killed in concentration camps in China!

Obviously you're just as lost as the rest of those small minded sheep and can continue living your "American dream." It's hilarious because America lied to foreigners to come and build America. Now you're really telling me that if you cheated on your wife and she and you moved on from it and didn't talk about it, it wouldn't kill your relationship? Little things over time would build up and it wouldn't even matter about the cheating, all of it would build up around it with it and then BAM an argument. Learn perspectives because even though a different thing total different scenario, the analogy implies the same concept
My husband is 3rd gen Japanese American and my kids 4th gen mixed Asian. It's not apology that the new generations are looking for but a recognition that it's part of American History, good or bad. We tell our kids this history because it's their ancestor's American experience. You literally don't get much information about this unless you live in an area that covers Asian Am history in more details like in the Bay Area (California) or in college in Asian Am classes. I know it was glossed over in the history books I had in HS growing up in the Central Valley in CA. They need to know it so history doesn't repeat itself. Many of the people who were put in the concentration camps were American citizens, born and raised here including my in-laws who were children at the time.

And they were compensated by the government in other words, they received reparations. If you feel sorry for them then you should be outraged that black American descendants of slaves that endured 1000x worse haven’t been compensated. They haven’t even received a formal apology from the government.
You realize that the majority of Americans didn't even show up until after 1910? How exactly are you going to take money and give it families that came from a history of being slaves without effecting the majority of Americans who literally had nothing to do with it?

Besides that freed slaves had a contract between them and the government promising them 40 acres and a mule. The government still owes them, and that means taxpayers will flip the bill.

I see who is actually killing black folks every day en masse. It's other black folks.
Do you think a massive reparation payment would fix anything? Within a few years things would be back to baseline, probably worse. Cuz the problem isn't money. It's so much deeper.
Do you know how much money the government has dumped into trying to help the inner cities? It would surprise you.
Over the years, hundreds of BILLIONS have been put into it. And it's been a money sink with 0 return.
And things are now worse than ever.
I have a set of eyes and can see whats in front of my face. I see the culture underlying the problem.
Until that root issue is fixed, nothing is gonna change.
As someone who lived in America I was tought about Pearl Harbour but never about what America did to innocent civilians during the aftermath.
It’s intentional
Wait till you find out that after the war, Japanese Americans came back to their homes and businesses and saw that they had been seized and sold to other people along with their belongings
I recently learned about Unit 731. I was never taught about Unit 731 in history class.
Roosevelt did a terrible thing. It was a despicable act.
love this guy, so much personality
0:05 where do people get these kind of old video's?
Its amazing how the camps look like the Nazi camps
Should said it was wrong he said it was mistake wow brutal world
This doc was so good for how short is was. And the fact that they mentioned the fema camps is fucking great. History repeats itself and it shouldn't be all the bad parts.
My great grandfather was the person they approached in Seattle to print pro-govt propaganda lies about these camps through his news paper to the Japanese American citizens......James Sakamoto also the founder of the Japanese American citizens League after.
These were people born here to naturalized citizens,the mentioned immigration camps is disgusting and worse than forgetting history.
The current immigration situation compared to Japanese internment is what's called "trivializing history" where we make an attrocity seem like a lesser crime against people......that's is a garuntee it will happen again.
These are all the Americans that we failed to protect and destroyed their future and family.
Racism is alive and well in America (and around the world), even though many white Americans would argue "there is no racism in America", and these are the same people calling me woke for pointing that out. This world is truly upside down, and I don't think we will ever see the end of it.
People call you woke because youre slow...And thats a strawman anyway. Its not that it doesn't exist. The things Yyooouuu lie about isn't racist, unless you're the one being racist. Now tell us more about the colors you don't like..
@Ivan Zhao That's tribalism, learn the difference.
@@eighterthabest9024 ah, yes, all the non-racists were the racist ones all along.
@Ivan Zhao DAMN YOU, TROTSKY! If it weren't for a dead leftist, we wouldn't have racism!
@@callme_Sweetpea Ah, yes, shoving "anti" in front of a word makes you not that....when you're literally just directly doing the thing word for word....
🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I can't make this more simple for you. YOOOU HAAAATE PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR SKIN COLOR. DATS WAYISMS.
Thank you Paul 🤎
