Just 10 years ago the US was still seen as being progressive and racism was slowly becoming a thing of the past… and not even in 10 years all the major civil rights achievements of rhe past 70 years are being thrown out so fast it is making my head spin.
I cannot in good faith accept this sentiment as anything close to accurate. The terms of Obama were filled with so much overt and abject racism that anyone who believed America was ‘getting over it’ should have noticed.
The current inferno is a spectacle but the buildup laying kindling and gasoline wasn’t subtle.
