Yeah. Immigrant here. There’s a saying In my language that says “a tree that falls makes a lot more noise than a forest that grows”. The tragic recent events are emphasizing serious issues than need to be addressed, and hopefully we’ll see changes in the near future. We could also talk about other issues where the US is a bit behind (foreign affairs, lack of healthcare, cost of education etc.). But overall it’s still a great place to live, and it is the reason why so many immigrants are trying to come and live here. Are there murderers, racist folks, crazy people and dumbfucks in this country? Definitely, as with any place on earth. But idk for you guys but since I moved to the US, the vast majority of people I met were very nice, welcoming and much more friendly than in the country I come from. I have so many stories of people helping me during tough situations than my friends from my country of origin don’t believe me.

10, I’m going to repost something I posted to another thread because y’all need it. This is coming from proud, ex-mil vet, brown, son of an immigrant, that has seen how beautiful and sh!tty this world can be...


We’ve been through worse. The civil war took 50k in one battle. I’m not trying to negate or disregard what happened this weekend nor the impetus but we are free society whose government needs to be reminded that it works for all people. All governments need this. Remember we are the only country that has fought a civil war to recognize that humans can’t be owned, the only country that formally recognizes the rights of minorities, the only country that has sent a man to the moon and the country that fought a two front war against fascist nazis, and allies. Our history is unique, and ugly and is what makes us stronger in the long run. We’ll get through this, and be a better country for it.

Yeah that civil war is still being fought, it never ended. Mission not accomplished.

Read the history, never was that great to begin with.

We are all benefiting from the largest land grab in world history, of an entire continent. If it was not for the contiguous land mass size and favorable climate variations it would not be that great or hospitable.

Rest is all hype, marketing and need for immigrant and slave resources. Other countries did not need them, USA did, in order to grow and survive. Hence the continuing debates and traumatic events around both immigration and slavery.

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.
