Summary
Trump recently shared a provocative column on Truth Social titled “Shut Up About Egg Prices — Trump Is Saving Consumers Millions,” written by conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
This comes despite Trump’s campaign promises to reduce grocery costs “immediately” and “on Day 1.” Egg prices have soared to record highs, averaging $4.95/dozen in January and exceeding $10/dozen in some regions, leading to purchase limits and shortages.
While bird flu has significantly impacted prices by killing millions of chickens since 2022, Trump has shifted from his campaign stance, recently telling Fox News “Inflation is back” but claiming “I had nothing to do with it” after just weeks in office.
You suggested you could not be racist because you identify with marginalized peoples but that overlooks the fact that these people would also internalize racism as they live in a racist society so what did you fix?
Im rejecting the notion you have fixed your racism because you literally make a racist claim while doing so.
lol…i didn’t say i couldn’t be racist, i said people that do work can break free. i agree that it can be internalized, as I know all of the traumas laid into us by society, our families, our countries, our socioeconomic standing, etc.
I am a practicing buddhist and long time meditator. I know the difference between the thoughts that arise from my programming and my true self. I am not my body, I am not my mind.
And I disagree that people can break free. You literally used a racist notion, namely that marginalized people cannot be racist as a virtue of their race, to argue that you were not racist because you identify more as that population. Does that mean your work was successful or does it mean you missed this bit of yourself?
I think we can be cognizant of our racism but I don’t think it ever gets resolved. I think you can do work to reduce it but it pops up in places and in ways we do not expect because it is pernicious.
Again, I never said marginalized people can’t be racist. If you think I did, I would suggest again to look internally.
Thank you for the unsolicited advice, I always appreciate people that try to help. I would also point out, that sometimes people’s need to express a point that is important to them, clouds the message that they are trying to express. I don’t see myself as one that needs guidance from others, I have the universe and my self, and the writings of those that came before me to do that.
But, I still love you, because I see myself when I was younger in you. I did the same thing
Jesus you can’t stop talking down to people while attempting to claim a high road you have no right to, can you?
Let’s stop here. You have nothing to offer me and I seem to have nothing to offer you.
Yes, you have things to offer. So far, you are correct in that they don’t seem to be things I need, as you have only expressed things I have already learned, and either accepted, or discarded. Yet, you continue to try to give them to me. I hope you have a good rest of your day!
