Ya know what? This country doesn’t reject racism, it rejects racism that’s too obvious to deny. That’s the real issue.
I’m less concerned with the pompous asshole who never should’ve been on the ballot than with the fact that racism here is embedded, institutional, normalized, monetized, and memorialized. Then people have the audacity to say, “OMG! Apologize! Take it down! This is unheard of!…. “
Unheard of? Umm… we have bigots in office and a whole collection of them on our money and monuments. Fix that first.
