    I am both brown and from a third world (both in the original unaligned sense and in the newer impoverished sense) country. You fucked us over with Trump.

    The slaves didn't care that Lincoln said in his debates with Douglas that whites were superior to blacks and that he supported an Illinois law against miscegenation. They cared that he removed them from bondage. Smart people take whatever progress they can get.

    Republicans destroying USAID is expected to kill how many millions of brown people in third world countries? How many children unvaccinated and uneducated?

    But both sides apparently are the same

    Missed your username, naturally you think feeding the hungry is an evil CIA plot.

    Not that you actually care about the lives of brown people in 3rd world countries except as a way to generate outrage, but 92 million lives saved is the estimate.

    The US messed up most of Latin America. USAID makes things better. Removing USAID makes things worse. It doesn't matter whether it is out of benevolence (the real reason is that making Latin America better means the US doesn't have to deal with a migrant crisis). What matters is that it's better than the alternative.

    technically second world, but anything not white is third world to you people

    Then maybe you shouldn't keep using that language. You're the one that introduced it during your first comment

    Don't need to trust them. You can trust the literal CIA when their staff says USAID helps them achieve in the open what they used to do covertly and thus freeing resources from the agency (to REALLY focus on the unspeakably evil shit)

    USAID caused more damage than help, I am glad trump destroyed it, altho for the wrong reasons.
