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.

Yes and the Democrats are the worst at institutionalizing racism - to quote Joe Biden: "If you don't vote for me, you aint Black."

This system was designed to tear us apart. The point has always been to measure the value of our voice by how much it can be exploited by the oligarchy. They stay rich and powerful and we are stuck with the fallout. People are too brainwashed to learn the facts of history.

Even @Harvard has ”special” graduations for what they call “LATINX” (I don’t know a single person that uses that in reference to themselves) and another for Blacks. They even entertained the idea of segregating dormitories.

There’s bad education on American history. That’s really the problem.

Since we are so incredible cross-partisan cross-continent, the best analysis on this (which applies to my lovely Europe btw too) is the one from Mike Madrid from the LincolnProject .. it's called: "identity & the imagined decline of the tribe."

Ok that's a brilliant analysis of why polls don't move in certain areas of the US, not by economics, not by the pandemic nor anything else, bc the "coalescing force" is another one and STRONGER than health or financial security - identity! open.spotify.com/episode/65a…

That’s so true. I always thought this but couldn’t put into words. People are still racist today but whenever you call them out on it, they always say “well it was worse back then”. As if that somehow negates their racism today and somehow is non existent today?

What really needs to be exorcised is false spiritual teachers. Many of us have eyes that see truth. 🔎
