Ugly, Unprofessional, Ukrainian. This is what we should all
think of every time Ukraine is mentioned.

> Twitter users have said that in an effort to evacuate
Ukrainians ahead of other refugees, officials were segregating
people by race to decide who got to pass through the border.
Videos went viral purporting to show Black people from African
nations being left stranded at Ukrainian train stations or being
blocked from boarding trains, and groups of African and Indian
students being menaced with guns and vans and pushed and beaten
at the Polish border. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump shared a
clip that showed a Black woman cradling an infant in a crowd at
the Polish border, according to the caption, where the creator
of the video said Black people were being denied passage and
shelter. One Nigerian student told the BBC that an official told
her “if you are Black, you should walk.”

> On Monday, several African nations on the U.N. Security
Council denounced the reported discrimination against African
citizens. “We strongly condemn this racism and believe that it
is damaging to the spirit of solidarity that is so urgently
needed today,” Kenyan U.N. ambassador Martin Kimani said, in
part. “The mistreatment of African peoples on Europe’s borders
needs to cease immediately.” The U.N. ambassador from Gabon said
the reported racism was “unacceptable.” In a statement, the
African Union said, “Reports that Africans are singled out for
unacceptable dissimilar treatment would be shockingly racist and
in breach [of] international law.”
--- End Quote ---
OK, so will Kenya, Gabon and other AU states bomb Ukraine after
Russia finishes? Will the US supply Kenya, Gabon and other AU
states with WMDs to do so? Or better yet, launch the WMDs
itself? Because the only way to cease mistreatment of
"non-whites" is to eliminate the bloodlines of the mistreaters.
So do you want the mistreatment to cease or not?
