My dad and his shithead family are so obnoxious in thinking they have a leg to stand on when it comes to racism because they have irish ancestry. Sure maybe 300 years ago but you’ve long since been welcomed to the table of white supremacy so shut the fuck up with your “we were the real slaves” racist nonsense.
Bulgarian national identity is tightly entwined with the idea we were “slaves” in the ottoman empire. We weren’t, or certainly not in the chattel slavery way seen in the European and American colonies, though we (along with many others) were definitely second class citizen. Of course, Bulgarian chuds will absolutely :frothingfash: if you tell them this.
My question to them is “Does you national identity align you with the global struggle for emancipation and liberation of all people? Do you see yourself as spiritual kin to the oppressed and enslaved, or to the oppressors and slavers? Because if the colour of your skin weighs more than the history of your people, you’re exactly as Bulgarian as any other fucking cracker.”
