> There is the fact that the power of black people to respond and argue is severely constrained in Europe, even more with the rise of anti-immigrant right-wing parties. The key issue here is that the channels of expression are not free, are not open
Admittedly, I haven't lived in every European country, but I've lived in enough for an eyebrow to be raised nearly off my face at this. Even with what's happening in Italy right now, I couldn't say "the power of black people to respond and argue is severely constrained".
- hamax 3y agoWho owns all the media organizations in Italy? Black people? If not, their power to respond and argue is severely constrained
- ghusto 3y agoWhat you've just said also says: 1. White people as a whole wish to suppress the speech of black people 2. The speech of anybody else who isn't also white is suppressed It also presumes, instead of knowing something. Do you know any black people in Italy? Have you heard of any of them complaining that they have no "power to respond"? EDIT: Case in point; I'm not white, (nearly) all my representatives are white, I don't feel like I have no power to respond. Stop making non-whites victims.
