According to the 2020 census, Asheville's population is 10% African American, 8% Hispanic, 4.5% mixed race, 0.6% 'some other race', 0.27% Pacific Islander, and 0.26% Native American.
That's a full 25% of the population that aren't 'kkkrackers', and god only knows how many of them, including the aforementioned 'kkkrackers', are deeply marginalized in other ways - being queer, nuerodivergent, disabled... being a member of any marginalized group in an area like Appalachia isn't easy, and now this flooding has destroyed all their lives just as much as it's made the 'kkkrackers get soggy.'
Be serious. It's a natural disaster in an extremely poor area by American standards. It's not just fucking over a bunch of rich white people.
i have a friend who lives there doing mutual aid work. she and her partner and their parents are leftists
bad take, this is just liberal "why should I care? They vote wrong" logic with a leftist veneer.
You are fedposting to the right of the Ayatollah whose countrymen you appropriated that slogan from. "Death to America" does not mean "Death to All Americans" or "Most Americans" or even necessarily "Very Many Americans," it means "Death to America", you know, the state that is responsible for perpetrating the crimes that I don't need to list off. Calling the slaughter of a population desirable because of how white it is (or isn't, obviously) is unhinged, reactionary racial chauvinism. It's replacing class analysis with racial essentialism and then adding punitive justice on top of it all. To promote such a thing, whatever your intentions, you are a wrecker.
