In America, you have a lot of things to fear wherever you are in the country, especially if you’re any minority group.
If you are BIPOC, you have a higher chance to be murdered, even by law enforcement.

Being LGBTQ+ you have a higher chance to be murdered. While there hasn’t been murder by law enforcement, they can be very discriminatory towards LGBTQ+ as well with the most recent being one of them intentionally driving their car into a gay bar and arrests the owner (Source: https://www.carscoops.com/2023/12/cop-who-crashed-suv-into-gay-bar-and-arrested-owner-ran-red-light-before-says-lawyer/)
Being mentally disabled can get you murdered, even by law enforcement. (Source: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/24/christian-glass-death-police-sheriff-deputies-indicted)
I’m a Hispanic, gay Autistic male, imagine the constant fear that you have to live with, especially in a country where there’s no hate crime laws protecting minority groups with the only exception being places of businesses where they cannot deny you services or a job based on your race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or disability.
Does anyone pay attention to the mess that is going on in America? You can’t even go anywhere these days without the possibility of being shot at in a mass shooting. (Source: https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/reports/mass-shooting)
When you live in constant fear for your life in a country that has no accountability or care for people’s safety, especially minority groups, due to the whole idea of “free speech”, than maybe people on here would understand why I think and feel the way I do because it’s logical and common sense to look at the mess America is becoming and see how letting hate and discrimination go unchecked ends horribly for people of minority groups because of outdated ideologies, not to mention the country’s entire history since the beginning of its colonization when you look past the whitewashed history that is taught in schools and look at the actual historical facts.
Lot of people don’t know that in America we are taught that taxation without representation is wrong and part of why America left the UK but then they turn around and do the same thing to US territories like Puerto Rico who has no representation in the US government whatsoever and cannot make any decisions without the approval of the US government but yet they are taxed and cannot vote for the president, House Reps or Senators unless they have property in one of the 50 states and are registered there and many cannot afford to do so.
People can find me offensive or think that minorities should bow to the majority but that only shows how much people don’t look at America and what’s happening there and don’t realize that if it’s happening there it can happen to anyone anywhere. But people can think what they want. It’s whatever.
As an American born and raised in Southern New England you are victimizing yourself on things which ARE NOT TRUE. I almost couldn't read through all of this BS. Nobody lives in constant fear of their lives in this country!! I live in Rhode Island, literally 90% Hispanic. I was jumped by hispanics TWICE in the last year and I'm white. I am going to have surgery 2 months from now for my broken nose.This is utter BS!!! This person makes America out to be Nazi Germany for non-whites. I can tell you with Bidenomics and 10MILLION illegal immigrants in the last 2 years alone, this is utter BS!!Puerto Rico is not only protected by the US, this person doesn't even know that they VOTED to NOT be part of the US while they get $5 BILLION in our taxes to protect them from hurricanes.You ARE offensive because you are both a LIAR and troublemaker. Literally everything written by this person speaks of BOT and NONE of it is true.I challenge you to respond to me and I will obliterate your BS! You want to sow discord. What a joy that the first Autistic site I came across living in Providence, Rhode Island, between Boston and NYC, would be someone trying to incite a faux reality of our country to them.Just for the record, I DOWN VOTE you even though it can't be done for the first post. You are both a LIAR and a FRAUD! I challenge you to PROVE any of your claims as I will disprove them. I've been tracking hurricanes in the Atlantic for 20 years and ran a website to help people in Puerto Rico and ALL the Caribbean.Why don't you tell this site about how your Governor destroyed TONS of food and water to disparage our President at the time when WE sent over $2 Billon in taxpayer aid to Puerto Rico when Hurricane Maria stuck as a Cat 5!!!We sent our money, YOUR governor didn't give it to the people because she wanted to influence OUR presidential election.
Do you have a source for Puerto Rico voting against statehood? All I can find recently is a referendum where a slight majority voted in favour of becoming a state.
And Trump doesn't need any help to be disparaged.
Free of charge. Don't cherry pick, the DEOMOCRAT governor of Puerto-Rico HID food and water from the PEOPLE to deny a US election in favor of a REPUBLICAN!! I guess they'll sacrifice their own people for the DEMONCRATS!https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/20/us/puerto-rico-earthquake-aid-distributed/index.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/puerto-rico-residents-outraged-after-discovering-warehouse-full-unused-aid-n1118501www.buzzfeednews.com/.../puerto-rico-warehouse-disaster-supplies-discoveredhttps://www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/puerto-rico-hurricane-maria-aid-food-water/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/20/us/puerto-rico-hurricane-maria.htmlI have 10 other news sources more reputable than crappy CNN but ignorant people love CNN, MSNBC and FOX so this should be good to go for you!

Typical racist come back, this is the same bs as having black friends doesn’t make you racist when you’re being racist towards black people. Can you come up with something more original please besides this tired out old narrative. yawns
I love how you skipped over the fact that your country gets BILLIONS in aid from us and military protection. Tell me, would you like to trade that for representation? Because their's a Russian named Putin that would LOVE to take that trade.So I'll ask again. FULL military protection with NO DRAFT for YOUR people WITH 5+ BILLION in US money OR lgo back to your Island and let the Russian's take you up the back end!You are SUCH A VICTIM!! I am SO SORRY that WE PAY BILLIONS for you and PROTECT you with OUR military. If you don't like it, go talk to the Russian's they have a gulag with your name on it VICTIM!
Very racist? The guy who was married to a Filipino woman for 10 years and the only other woman any relation got past relationship I.E ENGAGED to was Mexican. Try again. You're fun ;)
Kefka said:"I am a Puerto Rican" also "I am an American ." Pick one buddy. Puerto-Rico recieves BILLIONS in US taxpayer money as well as MILITARY protection so please stop with the BS and decide WHO you are because playing both sides is so last decade.
You are obviously very racist if you don’t know that Puerto Ricans are Americans because they are US citizens and you think its bs that they are taxed without representation. Is there a House Representative of Puerto Rico in Congress? Is there a Senator of Puerto Rico in Congress? The answer to both of these is no. Anything that has to do with Puerto Rico, included taxes, the government of Puerto Rico has no say in, just the US Congress. That’s the very definition of taxation without representation!
"I am a Puerto Rican" also "I am an American ." Pick one buddy. Puerto-Rico recieves BILLIONS in US taxpayer money as well as MILITARY protection so please stop with the BS and decide WHO you are because playing both sides is so last decade.Taxation without representation. What a joke. The Serfs in the Middle Ages were considered slaves and they paid 25%. average American pays 66% and your "Island" would of been conquered by Russia through Cuba if not for the PROTECTION you get from our dying soldiers.By all means, I'd LOVE to see your "country" survive without OUR TAXES paying FOR YOUR COUNTRY!!!We fight and die in wars, my grandfather ww2, uncle Vietnam, father 4 uncles and step father Airforce and you? Just act like you're a victim of the taxpayers that fight, protect and die for your to act like your little island is taken advantage of? Do you live in R-E-A-L-I-T-Y? I don't think so!!
Kefka said:Yup you got me! I said DEMOCRACT instead of REPUBLICAN. BTW did ya miss this? Of course because cherry picking mistakes is what you do best right? Not facts, not truth. You don't live in America and most American's don't even pay attention to Puerto-Rico BUT I DO because I track Atlantic hurricanes as good as you cherry pick my responses while ignoring the beast below.
Excuse me? I am a Puerto Rican, yeah dude you’re just here to spew jibberish and sow discourse. First and foremost I am an American I was born in San Diego, California to a white mother and a Puerto Rican father and I have researched Puerto Rico and nothing I have said is incorrect. Puerto Rico is taxed without representation by the US government, denying this fact doesn’t change anything.

Please tell me about your colonialism, by my records, every one of you liberal Brits owe everything you have to Africa, India and America. You're not exactly solidifying your cause here. For the rest of the Brits, we love them. Just not the nuts which appear everywhere especially here.
"Clearly you are not an American. Our diebold voting system for the 2020 election were created by the CIA to manipulate South American elections. I am clearly more aware of your elections and the fact that the British people voted to BREXIT while your politicians told you to go F yourselves than you are aware that our government literally put in place the very voting machines they used to overthrow democratically elected officials in South America under the rule of a Democrat president names Obama.Do you guys all get the news from the big 3 lying news stations about America? I thought Americans were the laughing stock of the world? Apparently they know and I, more than you so what does that say about YOU?"
