My buddy is half black and half white so he’s light skinned and has straight wavy hair. Hes been sick so he went out to get food wearing a mask etc and was social distancing in Wendy’s while ordering and waiting for his food. When a white lady and her 8-10 year old son he noticed kept getting really close to him. He said excuse me in trying to keep distsnce as I have a cold and the lady turned to him told him to fuck off and go back to India ☝️ he’s Bahamian 🇧🇸 ☝️ and here is the kicker her SON is also mixed but is darker skinned than my friend and he said in that moment he saw her sons reaction was embarassed and that of being ashamed. We don’t know this woman’s life story but this is a partial snapshot of how frustrated and tired ppl are on top of toxicity ignorance and hatefulness.

I am a naturalized American citizen and a veteran. NO to a Russian dictator. I am with Canada, our neighbors, friends and partners. I will fight for you without hesitation. I stand with Ukraine and their fight against the Russian invaders.\nI never voted for Trump and I am sick, horrified and ashamed of this current administration. Stay strong and thank you to Mr. Trudeau for this great lesson in statemanship.

I am sick...ashamed of and angry at tRump and his minions.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

As an American who supports justice, integrity, and respect.. to watch this fear/ego charged charade makes me sick and ashamed at what this country has become: a political scam aimed at taking far more than is given, lies stacked on top of lies and a global deception scheme that risks the livelihood of every single citizen. We can’t go on like this. This administration will destroy America before the end.

I am a US citizen and I am embarrassed to have such a dumb criminal insecure sick buffoon as president. \nI am also ashamed of how in this country, we have an ill-informed racist uneducated naive selfish electorate, that would put a weak person who can't even compose a short sentence correctly in the highest office in the land.

How sad is this? The cruelty is beyond belief and she isn’t even ashamed of herself. And to pretend that these people could just apply legally is ludicrous. When this lady came immigrants were still being welcomed. All you had to do was apply and wait. It’s not so easy now. Trump has spread so many lies and so much hatred that immigrants are hated. Regulations are draconian and will just get worse. Trump has said he will split up families and jail or execute immigrants if they try to get back to their families. That Americans accept this cruelty, has completely destroyed my respect for them. I used to think Americans had some bad people but the majority were good.even with the evidence that they refuse healthcare for all and decent gun control to protect children. I thought they just hadn’t realized how effective these policies are. But now it’s blatantly obvious that they don’t care about poor people or disabled or sick people. They don’t care about the elderly or the health and safety of pregnant women. They just want more for themselves and are too dumb to realize that the way to get more is to work together and help each other.

As a Mexican American was born here as my parents were as well. I am so ashamed of my people who voted for Trump and turning her back of her own family. Jusr makes me sick to my stomach she has no clue whats in store for her and the rest of us??

Wow she’s just selfish and evil- hypocritical in every way. The self-hate is something else. She should be ashamed of herself. What gets me more is that she thinks Trump wouldn’t hesitate to deport her too. So sick.

If this had happened to a foreigner in India. Entire India would have apologized. But I do not see any whites condemning it. Indians, especially Hindus need to give up their apologetic nature. I feel sick when I see apologetic Hindus respecting foreign cultures and feeling ashamed of their own .

Excellent response !! I grew up with SO many JEWISH friends - right now they tell me how ashamed they are of what's going on by their government in Israel and how Palestine needs to exist for there to be any peace ever! All the pressure is on the Israel government who is responsible for too many children, women, and men being killed, made sick and starving! I support Israel's security but not like what happened!

I was born and raised in Canada and left 30 years ago. I went to Vancouver about 10 years ago to visit family and I also found it ugly. The big glass buildings looked so dirty and outdated. It felt like an old outdated logging town. Like most Canadians, I used to be proud of the medical system but now I've realized it doesn't cure people it just keeps the citizens sick. Everyone I know there is sick and they are all proud of how many operations they've had and how many pills they take. I remember paying 30% in taxes as a University student with a part-time job. It just wasn't fair. The last straw was when I saw how the Trudeau government responded during covid. They hijacking the news stations and brainwashed the citizens. And then, they froze bank accounts of those who dared to protest or even support protesters. I lost a lot of respect for people there who I thought were intelligent and It made me realize how that place turns people into drones. Now I'm ashamed to be Canadian. Most Canadians live in a bubble and think it's the best country in the world but that's because they don't know what it's like to live. Good for you for leaving. I wish you all the best.
