m/rina constantly sharing reels begging americans to speak up about israel/palestine and other issues and writing entire songs about how racist the us is is sooo. like yes absolutely. america and north america in general needs to do what we can about this and we as white people are all complicit in institutional racism but girl... why is it only ever america you preach to. aren't you literally british.

#and she nevvvver says anything about britain's dearth of racism. of course.#literally she shared a reel today MADE BY AN AMERICAN talking to other americans #about how they as americans are part of a country that funds imperialism everywhere it goes #and like. good reel. but girl when YOU a british woman share it it just feels kinda. whataboutist.#like i read an article one time where she was talking about new america and said #'and yeah britain doesn't have a perfect track record either-' (understatement of the fucking century)#'-but i feel like america's the country we all look to as an example'#and that's. why she focuses on them so much #girl what??? what does that mean?? obviously the us and the uk are both massive imperialist and colonial forces.#but the us? would not exist? without the uk being colonizers?? OBVIOUSLY this does not make one 'worse' than the other they're BOTH AWFUL #but why are you so hesitant to confront your own country's bloody history huh. why are you always scolding other countries.
