Would it make you feel better if cops in a country you don't live in kneel on another black man's neck until he dies?
That the experience of oppression is still felt by blacks.
Why are you attempting to make light of it?
What can I say. You're absolutely right.What's worse than kneeling on one's neck?
We should ignore all crimes and brutality committed by state agents until they're as bad as the Holodomor.
There, we're in full agreement. You can go back to adoring an ex-KGB officer.
Ask TM if hes experienced any animosity being 3rd Gen Ukr Canadian. I dont have to ask because I know he has the same way I have.
Anti-Ukrainian sentiment or Ukrainophobia is animosity towards Ukrainians, Ukrainian culture, language or Ukraine as a nation.[1]
In modern times, significant presence of Ukrainophobia may be distinguished in three geographical areas, where it differs by its roots and manifestation:
In the Russian Federation, and among the Russophone population of South-Eastern Ukraine (where a large portion of the population is composed of ethnic Russians).[2] [page needed] Its opposite is Ukrainophilia.
In Poland
In Canada, where a significant Ukrainian diaspora is present.
Historically, Ukrainian culture was oppressed in states which included the Ukrainian population: Russian Empire, Soviet Union and historical Polish states.
Modern scholars define two types of anti-Ukrainian sentiment. One is based on discrimination of Ukrainians based on their ethnic or cultural origin, a typical kind of xenophobia and racism. Another one is based on the conceptual rejection of Ukrainians, Ukrainian culture, and language as artificial and unnatural; at the turn of the 20th century, several authors supported an assertion that Ukrainian identity and language had been created artificially in order to undermine Russia.[3] This argument has been promulgated by several conservative Russian authors.[1]

We had a bus with large video screens going around Durham showing the events of the Stalinist oppression of Ukraine.
You’re clearly still angry about it and rightly so.
Surprised you don’t feel any empathy for blacks and their current and direct experiences.
And it continues in the Putin era, ask Ukrainians in Eastern Ukraine how they are being treated
What the f-ck makes you think I dont?
That kind of bullshit is going to get you turfed.
Well it’s not me who wants Putin back in the G8 after he was kicked out after he annexed Crimea.
Wondered why thousands of people can join a Black Lives Matter protest, but children still can’t go to school? Educate yourself! Puzzled as to why words can wound and silence is violence, but breaking shop windows is absolutely fine? Educate yourself! Confused about the right word to describe a person who menstruates? Educate yourself!
