fantastic thoughtful measured necessary reporting that reads like you're in the room. I was in 5th grade at a public school in memphis TN when the show Roots came out on television and the standing assignment from every teacher in the school 5th through 12th was to watch Roots every night and come in prepared to talk about it. I mentioned this to a mom and dad of a 10 year old at the dog park and their response was oh my god that would never happen today, that would cause a riot. meanwhile hatred of the jews is commonplace and the american coast guard two days ago inexplicably decided to announce that the swastika and the noose will no longer be considered symbols of hate, and here we are.
Thank you. Yes, it's astonishing and horrible how far we've slid along the slimy lane towards full on hate and fascist ideals around racialisation. We have to hope and work for a reversal and a pushback. Thanks for being alongside as part of that.
