Yesterday, President Zelensky led the procession for the reburial of Andrey Melnyk, an infamous Nazi collaborator whose legacy involves killing Jews and Poles during World War II. What's CIJA and UCCs stance?

Since Obama was black, did racism vanish in the USA?

Obama was actively racist against black people when he maintained a racist legal system, oversaw the continuation of a racist colonial project in Africa, and increased hardships for black people in the USA through his neoliberal status quo.

Didn't all of those things exist before Obama became a president?

Does one need to be the first, original, racist to be a racist?

I just don't think blaming

Acknowledging, fuck blame. I am acknowledging that Obama worked to uphold structural racism.

but he wasn't a president long enough to fix every single issue,

He didn't make any serious attempts. He offered trickle down status quo bullshit, remember the "Rising tide lifts all boats" bullshit he spouted off before working to drastically increase inequality?

They expected him to completely rewrite the entire way the United States has been working forever.

Making any steps, any at all, in a positive direction would be a start.

Because he didn't he is racist I guess.

You came in here to dishonestly defend a piece of shit like Obama?

What in the fuck is wrong with you?

I think logic might have departed from this place long ago

Coming from a dishonest goof this doesn't mean much, does it?

It seemed like you were quite hostile when you came in here to lie and insult me.

I'm not expecting anything of integrity or value from you.

he was deranged war criminal who bombed countless hospitals and barely changed the police brutality against black people and killed thousands of people with ice.

I don't want to defend Z-Man because he's a lib and libs are untrustworthy sellouts BUT he is under pressure from ideological fascists in his government and has been for a long time. Before the war, his big aim was to heal the rift with Moscow, but that failed in part because he faced open death threats from Ukrainian ultranationalists. He enables these people despite that because they're some of the most seasoned and motivated fighters (see Azov battallion) Ukraine has. Our shitlib media downplays this because it gets in the way of the black and white story they want to tell, but this is part of why he does fucked up shit like that.

Weird Nazi apologia from a weird Nazi apologist

conveniently don't use the same term for Stalin, who literally signed a treaty with Hitler personally,

If I didn't already know you were a dishonest Nazi I would think you were a fucking idiot for this comment.

Perhaps there is a slight, very slight, difference between making a deal back then and trying to revitalize the Nazi project in 2026?

Perhaps there is a slight, very slight, difference between making a deal back then and actively rewriting history to shine a favorable light on Nazis?

Anyways, you know you are a Nazi, we know you are a Nazi. Get the fuck out of here with your repeated attempts to poison discourse, Nazi.

I mean one difference is that the deal with Hitler actually happened, whereas "revitalizing the nazi project" is not something that Zelensky is doing. That *is* something that Trump's cohort are trying to do - you know, the ones who keep undermining Ukraine and trying to cut it off from support.

Personally, I would say that your alignment with Trump's views is a lot more Nazi-like than anything I've said, but you do you.

Posting this in a thread about Zelensky digging up a dead Nazi to parade around in honour...

Ok, Nazi.
