This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well no, the Amish were settlers too. They're just working with the Indians instead of in spite of the Indians.

We can stop when we actually give them the same opportunities and protections white people get. You don't get to oppress a population for 500 years and then just act like nothing happened.

did the current, living Amish oppress them? did I? did you? who is the "you" in your sentence?

Apparently it's you, literally.

Which laws and policies specifically give preference to people with white skin?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Civil Asset Forfeiture, fleeing felon rule, subjective reasons for searches, qualified immunity...

Pretty much everything that allows for selective enforcement of laws.
