      First off, please look at a calendar and check what century we are in. If you can’t recognize current atrocities, then you have no business in discussing past injustices.

      You are comparing a US state, US Territory works on voting on statehood, and a US detention center that is state of the art compared to current Russian Filtration/Concentration camps.

      Nothing you mentioned compares to this stuff at the moment. We can differ and that is that. I’m not going to downplay the current atrocities, so you feel better about having bad politics that don’t acknowledge human suffering.

      Enjoy your whataboutism & but America Bad insanity with someone else.

          Where are you when the CCP commit atrocities?, Where were you when the NK abuses human right?, Where were you when the soviet union send tank to hungary?, Where were you when the holodomor happend?, When were you when…

          It’s could go on and on and on.

          So america bad when it’s do shit, but if russia, china, and other do it. It’s ok because it’s america fault?.

          You could critize US for it’s imperialism but don’t ignore when other countries do it too.

      Bro Hawaii voted to become a state. The pro state movement was native opposition to the plantation owners who didn’t want pesky US laws protecting the natives. Read a book.
