The way the western media is covering the russia Ukraine conflict is beyond ridiculous. They repeatedly talk about "this isn't Africa or the Middle East, this is europe" , as if it's okay when it's somewhere other than a predominantly white country. They can't even hide their stupid blatant racism .
Some examples :
In one of the clips, which aired on the BBC, Ukraine's Deputy Chief Prosecutor, David Sakvarelidze is heard saying, “It's very emotional for me because I see European people with blue eyes and blonde hair being killed.”
"The unthinkable has happened...This is not a developing, third world nation; this is Europe!" a woman is heard saying in one of the now viral clips, which aired on UK-based ITV network.
In another segment on the issue, one of the guests says “we have cruise missile fire as though we were in Iraq or Afghanistan, can you imagine?”
The racist reporting was first noticed when CBS correspondent Charlie D'Agata compared the situation in "civilised" Ukraine to what he implied were "uncivilised" countries such as those in the Middle East.
"This isn't a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan that has seen conflict raging for decades ... this is a relatively civilised, relatively European ... city where you wouldn't expect that or hope that (war) to happen," he had said.
And this is just the tip of the filthy racist iceberg. I'm not surprised the racism exists, but I am surprised they'd be so ignorant as to let it out so shamelessly , with no thought to it whatsoever.
We'll no doubt hear some apologies , but they don't mean shit. You said what you said and it's out there.
All of that being said, fuck russia and their aggression.
