1/ When I was a child there was vile disgusting hatred of Blacks institutionalized in the American South. Difference between then & now is that it was understood among majority of Americans that the racists were wrong, they were the bad guys, & desegregation was a righteous cause

2/ What’s so chilling today is that people all over America actually justify their racism & seek to re-institutionalize it in places where it had been diminished. This goes beyond a rational level to a primal psychosexual fear of the other that has to be exorcised from our souls

3/ Civil rights legislation dismantled segregation, but it couldn’t dismantle racism. That is an internal process. It is something we ourselves need to do. With prayer, meditation and in a spirit of real contrition, we need to seek the purification of our nation’s soul.

Perhaps moving the goalposts to make racism include non-Japanese making sushi was a bad idea then.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stop saying “Blacks”. It’s f*cking dehumanizing. If you’re referring to Black people, then say, “Black People”. Other synonyms you can use are “Black Citizens”, or “Black Neighbors”, or “Black Individuals”. » youtube.com/QQ0hCEDH-aU

And now the same people who thought all the racists lived in The South are *shocked* to find racists living all over America and racism baked into the entire system. How simple it was to blame racism on The South.
