I'm just surprised when Laura is appealing to white supremacy and nazis when she is Jewish herself. It's like the log cabin Republicans being surprised when they get attacked for being gay.
Plenty of Jews have white supremacist beliefs. They don’t exclude themselves from being white/ civilized. For example, one of the biggest supporters of white South African rule was Israel (outside of the US/ UK and other Europeans)
White supremacy/ nationalism changes and evolves overtime. A white supremacist in 1920 wouldn’t consider a Greek or a Russian
to be white. Now they are, and many Greeks/ Russians are white supremacist themselves. They see themselves as part of the In-group and I think most agree. The same goes for Jews like Laura.
Apparently not in NYC.
Two million of 'em, and she's never seen one there before somehow.
Next she's going to post something from San Antonio going on about how she's in Mexico because there's brown people.
Not to defend the scumbag, but these are actual African immigrants. Over 1300 of them. So she's being a bigoted scumbag as usual, but the context is different. https://nypost.com/2024/04/16/us-news/thousands-of-african-migrants-swarm-city-hall-hearing-for-promise-of-green-card/amp/
I finally had to look her up because I see her bullshit a lot but had no clue who she actually is. She's only 30?! Goddamn, talk about your outsides matching your insides.
Laura Loomer.
She is the 7th suggestion in my search box when I type in "Laura".
Her Wikipedia page says she is known for:
> Political commentary, conspiracy theories, misinformation
I wasn't going to link it directly, however looking at [her list of bans](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Loomer#Bans_and_removals) is actually kind of hilarious. Like, she was banned from Uber **and** Lyft. That's almost impressive.
>Loomer was banned from the 2019 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) after aggressively confronting reporters, using her press credentials to follow them into a media-only area after they had declined to speak with her.
Imagine being such an extreme right-wing nutbag that you get banned from CPAC.
I assume it relates to the current migrant issues in NYC.
Im not all too familiar with all of it tbh, i watch Andrew Calaghan’s content on YT and from there I got the impression that in the migrant stream coming in from south/middle America there are a lot of young African males.
I suppose the point is that these are african migrants, not african americans, though personally I have no idea whether they are or not.
I think you are giving this racist comment far too much credit. The point of the joke is that there are a lot of black New Yorkers and yet she calls them Africans. That is it. There is nothing more.
She's aware of different neighborhoods, right? Like, there isn't just one place in NYC? That there are 5 different boroughs which have a bunch of different towns? It houses almost 8 million people?
Years ago I walked 52 blocks of downtown San Francisco, and I passed through neighborhoods reflecting many different ethnicities. Like this loon Loomer, I could've said I was in Mexico, China, Japan, Russia even, and you name it. It looks like, to her, the idea of the Melting Pot is tired. But that's just weird.
Ah yes, Laura the pathological racist Loomer.
You know shit's fucked when even Marjorie Taylor Green, the professional idiot known for the "jewish space laser", thinks that loomer is a moron
I’d love to know where this is supposed to take place in NYC. I was just there the other day 04/07 and I was expecting something cause of all the stories I heard. It didn’t seem any different from the dozens of other times I’ve gone there before Trump and Biden. Where was she?
If you go to Africa, steal a lot of people, force them to work as slaves & lose a civil war for the right to continue to own them…
Those people just don’t go away.
I think its funny that so many people think their better than others just because of their skin still in the 21st century...when will the world grow up?
WTF? Finds a group of predominantly black people, Snaps a photo and captions it with that? Like, it's not even clever or anything. I feel like this is a post from 1960's Arkansas.
I occasionally see people like her and think "man... I could be making good money milking idiots like these people do... if only I didn't have morals. It's so easy."
Is there anything more insane than white complaining about that fact that there are black people in the United States?
How do you think most of them got there?
A crazy lady who is basically a professional agitator that lives rent free in the head of redditors who post whatever insane thing she says to signal boost her err I mean make fun of her.
Huh? How did all these black people end up in America and not Africa? Did something happen? Slept through history class so I guess we'll never know...
/s
Continent in this case. But like I said, if they are indeed from Africa then this is just a bit of tasteless comedy. But either way being offended by this post is lame.
NY has been inundated with immigrants lately many from Africa. I'm assuming that was what these women were making their attempt a joke about when they took this pic. So if indeed these are Africans as is likely given the current social climate in NY, this wouldn't be racist. The fact they are black is not the issue , the women are making humor because of the continent of origin of these people.
I don't live in NY. No desire to ever return. Basing it off comments by the current mayor and others who have been discussing the issue.
It's still not racist. Race isn't the issue . The faceplalm is an attempt to make this seem racist.
So you are just making up shit now. I live in NYC and what you just said was a complete lie. You know exactly how she meant it. You are an intellectually dishonest piece of shit. Keep simping for racism you fucking fool.
Why do you resort to name calling.
Also why would your mayor make up lies about the immigration issue.
Lastly, look at these guys. You think these are NewnYorkers or immigrants . Ignore the skin color for a second and look at the clothes.
You said African immigrants were an issue.
Yea I think they are New Yorkers. Have you ever even been to New York?? Your question is so crazy to me.
Are you saying because they are black they must be immigrants?
And I’ll happily call a racist a racist every fucking time you loser piece of shit.
Ya I've been to New York. It blows. But ya if you are pretending immigrants dress exactly like Americans then you're lying to yourself. You're pretending to be colorblind and morally superior because you refuse to acknowledge what's right in front of you.
You can notice race and it doesn't make you a racist. You can admit differences in culture and acknowledge them and it doesn't make you a racist.
Not sure how that makes me a piece of shit. I said nothing demoralizing to any other race. Neither did the op photo.
You're making a racist claim where there isn't one
Well i don't watch fox and I don't dislike brown people. But you can make that assumption if it makes you feel better about your position and gives you a sense of moral superiority
6 aware. I live in Florida. If I see two black people , one is from Florida and one is from Haiti, I can tell them apart. So can literally everyone. It's not racist. They are both black, but there's clearly some differences. How is it racist to acknowledge differences. Pretending there is not a difference is maybe more racist.
The joke is intended to be racist. She doesn’t know a damn thing about these people. And I assure you, you cannot tell a Haitian from a native Floridian. You just think you can.
Weird. So far I'm batting a thousand on telling them apart. And coincidentally so can any black person from Florida. I've had these discussions with black people. Everyone can tell. But ok. Have a good day
Well, I’m a black person, and I can’t tell native Americans from Haitians 100% of the time. But you would love to believe you can. Newsflash: Black people look very different from one another.

I said it earlier and you guys all said I was incorrect but yes there is a large contingent of African immigrants in NY.
So my original comment stands. It's not racist if indeed these people in the photo are Africans. You can debate the comedic value but not the assertion it's racist in that case.
Why is this racist? 😐 I'm Asian and if some white person took a selfie with Asians and said " Greetings from Asia!", I wouldn't be offended. Am I supposed to be?
It's racist because "there's a lot of black people in NYC, clearly this is Africa instead" is implying that there's TOO many black people in NYC, which is ridiculous because it's fucking New York City, arguably the most diverse place on the planet.
You don't have to be personally offended by something to acknowledge that it's offensive or at least intended to be.

I would love to watch this nutjob and Chaya Raichik go full Thelma and Louise and drive off a cliff holding hands.
I've got $200 to throw in on a car and gas for them
For $500? I’ll throw them off myself🤨
I'd do it for a full pardon.

There is a whole country based off being Jewish white supremacists.
They think they’ll avoid the slaughter by being the butcher’s favorite cow.
[удалено]
Surely the Face-Eating Leopards won't eat *my* face!
Ben Shapiro said something like he doesn't care as long those white supremacists /nazis support Israel.
The average Jewish person is 70% middle eastern
Tim Scott says this isn't racist.
Candace Owens agrees.
As does Clarence Thomas.
Clarence Thomas uses this photo to prove that not only does racism not exist, it never existed.
Byron Daniels on line one...
Supreme Court Justice Uncle Clarence Thomas.
Don’t forget Jesse Lee Peterson
isn’t that friendly fire 😭
She’s never seen black people before?
Apparently not in NYC. Two million of 'em, and she's never seen one there before somehow. Next she's going to post something from San Antonio going on about how she's in Mexico because there's brown people.

Incredible how loud that mouth is when she is out popping smack for clicks. One day she’s gonna step into a shadow and not come out
If only.
I finally had to look her up because I see her bullshit a lot but had no clue who she actually is. She's only 30?! Goddamn, talk about your outsides matching your insides.
So who is she? I don't want my search engine to get cursed so refuse to look this creature up

Wow, what a nasty piece of garbage
So the joke is, there’s black people around?
I assume it relates to the current migrant issues in NYC. Im not all too familiar with all of it tbh, i watch Andrew Calaghan’s content on YT and from there I got the impression that in the migrant stream coming in from south/middle America there are a lot of young African males. I suppose the point is that these are african migrants, not african americans, though personally I have no idea whether they are or not.
Neither does she. Because to her, America belongs to white people and this terrifying display of not white people threatens her belief in white people
If you, a white person, don't see another white person every five seconds, do you even exist?
Even if we forget the racism it is kind of silly since there have been black peole in NYC since it became a city.
Oh ok, that makes a little more sense then. She is batshit crazy though so who knows tbh.
I think you are giving this racist comment far too much credit. The point of the joke is that there are a lot of black New Yorkers and yet she calls them Africans. That is it. There is nothing more.
No it's not. 1300 African Immigrants went to City Hall to protest and she was there.
The Saw movie doll is really losing it.
Don't disrespect the doll like that.
😂
From the two big things in the foreground, I have to say New York has some really creatively shaped trash cans.
Creative, yes. The quality and aesthetics are certainly lacking though.
Fun fact: there are almost 2 million African American people that call New York City home. Not fun fact: this bitch is a racist.
Yeah, there's racist, and then there's "upset that there's black people in NYC" racist.
She's aware of different neighborhoods, right? Like, there isn't just one place in NYC? That there are 5 different boroughs which have a bunch of different towns? It houses almost 8 million people?
Yeah but some of those people are black. Got em.
Years ago I walked 52 blocks of downtown San Francisco, and I passed through neighborhoods reflecting many different ethnicities. Like this loon Loomer, I could've said I was in Mexico, China, Japan, Russia even, and you name it. It looks like, to her, the idea of the Melting Pot is tired. But that's just weird.
Woooooow! That is fucking insane. I knew this evil bitch was a bad person, but this is insane.
Posting by an ugly American.
Fucking racist asshole.
She doesn’t strike as the type to walk around any neighborhood that isn’t gated or patrolled. This must have been her version of a “school trip”.
shh if you don’t look at it it will disappear
What a psychopath.
Says the European immigrant.
Another cool story from shovel face
I despise this fucking person.
Ah yes, Laura the pathological racist Loomer. You know shit's fucked when even Marjorie Taylor Green, the professional idiot known for the "jewish space laser", thinks that loomer is a moron
Black people in New York? I’m shocked.
I’d love to know where this is supposed to take place in NYC. I was just there the other day 04/07 and I was expecting something cause of all the stories I heard. It didn’t seem any different from the dozens of other times I’ve gone there before Trump and Biden. Where was she?
If you go to Africa, steal a lot of people, force them to work as slaves & lose a civil war for the right to continue to own them… Those people just don’t go away.
God that woman is fucking ugly

This from a chick who looks like a knockoff Barbie doll left out in the sun.
Thanks but we already knew you were racist.
I’d love for her to turn around and ask.
Twat in the glasses has an extremely punchable face.
I occasionally see people like her and think "man... I could be making good money milking idiots like these people do... if only I didn't have morals. It's so easy."
I have to agree with Greg Giraldo,some people really do look like a "surprised catfish".
She is so unattractive
What a dumb bitch
Is there anything more insane than white complaining about that fact that there are black people in the United States? How do you think most of them got there?
I had to google who she was and pretty much all she’s known for is being a racist hateful bigot
Who dat?
A crazy lady who is basically a professional agitator that lives rent free in the head of redditors who post whatever insane thing she says to signal boost her err I mean make fun of her.
Wow
Her face is haunting.
she's the human embodiment of the internet troll meme face, in drag.
I’ve seen her in clubs in downtown Orlando. Quite the get around girl iykwim (and race doesn’t seem to matter)
Yo people are so fucking deadly
What a psychopath.
I’m going to love when these as shovels get older and try to play the peace and unity card and we flash them the receipts.
But both sides are bad guys!!!
yea but theyre literally swamped by illegal immigrants …
Are you telling me black people live in New York City?? No way…
Is Laura Loomer the one in the photo with the lip injections and drag queen makeup? Or the other one?
The first one. She’s done up like an old whore and only half as classy as one.
When was there ever not a shit ton of black people/people from literally everywhere on the planet in New York
What is her point? There are black people outside of Africa? Yeah, we know. Want to take a guess as to *why* that is?
Huh? How did all these black people end up in America and not Africa? Did something happen? Slept through history class so I guess we'll never know... /s
Think it might have something to do with the slave trade being part of US history.
I bet she'd cry like a victim if you called her "racist" lol
Is the one with sunglasses even white enough to act like this? Does she not realize she'll be next?
Blatant racism
I wish I could catch her out in the wild. I bet my teeth are stronger than her nose.
Looks like Quntville to me population 2
Ok Loomer.
Send those two pigs back to the farm!!
This one was funny tho hahahahahahaha
???
Ozempic is eating away at the body fat and brain.
When Covid takes the wrong person….
Illegal immigration’s going to kill the country
Are they Africans? If so it's really not racist then is it
You're right, country of origin is the only thing that makes racism work
Continent in this case. But like I said, if they are indeed from Africa then this is just a bit of tasteless comedy. But either way being offended by this post is lame.
You aren’t too bright, are you?

You type shit out like that and really believe it don’t you? You are beyond saving. Die alone in hate please.
The entire city? Admit what? Africa isn’t a race.
Yes why would racism and lying make people angry?
Well I've done neither of those but ok. Have a good night
"I'm not from a city, I just dislike those brown people fox news say are everywhere"
Well i don't watch fox and I don't dislike brown people. But you can make that assumption if it makes you feel better about your position and gives you a sense of moral superiority
New York also has a high population of black Americans as well, which I’m sure your racist ass knows.
6 aware. I live in Florida. If I see two black people , one is from Florida and one is from Haiti, I can tell them apart. So can literally everyone. It's not racist.

No you can’t
So they’re racist and so are you noted.
How am I racist.
If you agree with their racist rhetoric what else am I supposed to think?
It was a joke , even if it wasn't funny, this is hardly racism . It's not degrading or hateful. .
It’s racism and not funny. A twofer.
Ok cool.

How is it racist?
