If you were not white, it was much more extreme. Up to and including being murdered.
EDIT: The irony of this comment being "canceled". Does one of the down-voters care to comment on this? Is it not a known fact?
- konjin 6y agoLike usual you focus on the few dozen Americans that it happened to while ignoring the millions of South Americans and South Asians who were murdered for being communist. Which is the point of identity politics, and the reason why more black panthers were murdered by FBI sponsored police raids than blacks were lynched.

- solosoyokaze 6y agoLike usual? We're talking about the US. Yes, the FBI killed Black people. They're a fascist organization that should be disbanded. Far more Black people were killed by "regular" Americans though. It's not even close. The communists also killed many, many people. No one is excusing that, but that's not the topic here.
