That's the thing. I watch all sorts of Youtube videos made from an American perspective. Then I look outside then window (so to speak) and it's calm and there's no drama of that sort. We've got a rather large population segment of middle eastern people, but no terror and very little strife in general.

Of course we don't have that prickly issue with slavery and such. I think it's really quite understandable that there's a lot of unrest in the US. Slavery, Jim Crow, police shootings of black citizens... completely unlike what's going on where I live - both currently and in terms of the last couple hundred years of history.

I read and watch so much that's from an American perspective, but I keep having to adjust it to what my world looks like.

Doesn't matter if it's not going on where you live, you're white so you are to blame.

Every morning, I make sure to put toothpaste in my eyes and use the nail clipper to pinch my balls, so I think I deserve to live. I still need to get better at feeling shameful and inexcusable every waking hour though.

Can and should seem weird to an European.

And to Puertoricans like me that don't live in the US. And it's sick to an extent that over here we almost want to adopt this problem and many others for example, when school shootings became a thing over there the news here ran a piece that some schools here are gonna be doing seminars to prevent that kinda thing which just doesn't happen here, Oh but it could happen here. There's a possibility. Be afraid.

I saw that piece and it angered me that sht might become a self fulfilling prophecy here. Same with this Race thing. Though here im still not directly affected by it im still wary its gonna get us too cause it's a big chunk of the american media we consume over here.

Why don't you brownies just vote for independence? I've never understood that. We don't care about you and as far as I know you don't care about us. Why are our countries even linked? We took you as booty from Spain and there's literally no other reason why you are still our booty.

The South had Generals. The North had soldiers. They outnumbered the Confederates two to one.
