    1.it’s a euphemism for “And You Are Lynching Negroes” - that’s literally what people used to say instead of whataboutism

    lol who do you think was saying this, and how is “whataboutism” in any way of a euphemism for it? Did you even bother to read the article you linked?

      America dropped “you are lynching negros” in favor of “whataboutism” because it made people think for a moment, hey, why are we lynching negros after all? Aren’t we kinda hypocrites?

        America didn’t drop anything because they weren’t saying it in the first place, the Soviets were. America also aren’t the ones that coined a new phrase for it, British royalists were, who probably had no knowledge of the Russian phrase. All of this was explained in the article you linked.
