@benchmark @mekkaokereke Europe has no shortage of its own political shittiness.

It's just that "maintaining white supremacy" was not such a massive policy goal when modern European nations were founded, the way it was in the USA.

I mean, take Germany. Is there lots of racism? Sure. Is there structural racism? Yup (the German school system is my favorite example).

But when the modern German Constitution was written after WWII, the authors did not think about "How can we uphold White Supremacy?", even though many of these people were probably racist. Thus, Germany lacks many of these structural underpinnings of white supremacy which are so common in the USA. Such as the many, many ways the US election system can screw with minority voters.
