Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

MODERATORS
White supremacists believe white people should be in charge of things. That doesn't mean that a white supremacist needs to be white themselves.
She's a white supremacist too.
So then why doesn't she accept her place?
Yeah, the argument that republicans who aren't white simply want white people to be in charge doesn't hold up, since they're always surprised when they aren't treated with the same respect white supremacists give to each other. Instead, they honestly think that if they treat white supremacists with respect, they'll be respected in return.
Even after all that's happened, they can't understand that nearly 50% of the US population simply hates anyone with an arbitrarily high amount of melanin in their skin; they do it for no reason, and will never stop or make exceptions for the "good ones." This also applies to misogynists and women.
These people think "they are one of the good ones" and that they will be recognized as such, but in reality they'll only be used by these racists while they think they're useful. Surprise, you sold your kin for nothing.
It's just X-Ray Jelly.
Ignorance, in short. She thinks, among other similar things, that they'll let her alone if they think she's on their side. She's not quite understanding that people like that are damaged and don't (can't?) think of others different than themselves as anything but enemy regardless of what objective reality slaps them across the face with.
It's like some variation of Stockholm syndrome.
white supremecist that are white, occasionally will allow token minority when its "CONVENIENT", this is something conservative minorities dont get.
