Shocked.

Shocked I say

And because it looks different, too many people are fooled into thinking it isn’t racism at all. /9

This is the racism of today. It’s not the segregation signs or cross burnings of the past. It’s subtler, more insidious, and harder to combat because it hides behind a mask of moral righteousness. /8

As if everything mentioned above weren’t bad enough on its own, when you consider that the church is often on the front lines of perpetuating this modern form of racism, it makes it even worse. /7

Or the countless innocent Black people killed by law enforcement, only for their deaths to be justified, excused, or ignored. These are grotesque celebrations of lives lost, disguised as justice. /6

We hear it in the rhetoric of "victimhood," as if pointing out injustice somehow makes you weak. And let’s not forget the most glaring examples: the applause that erupts when Black people are killed in public, with offenders hailed as heroes under the guise of "self-defense."/5

These efforts are undermined under the guise of “equality,” erasing the history of inequity that created the need for them in the first place. They’re sold as noble crusades for "fairness," when in reality, they’re just new ways to reinforce old hierarchies./4

It’s in the lawsuits against economic programs aimed at helping Black communities, such as policies designed to compensate Black farmers after decades of systemic discrimination. /3

We see it in the open attacks on diversity and equity programs, branded as unnecessary or even divisive. These attacks ignore the systemic barriers that such programs are meant to address. /2

I will argue that the racism of today is more sinister than in the past—not because it’s louder, but because it’s quiet enough to hide in plain sight, cloaked in language that sounds virtuous not only to the uninformed but even causing some black people to be led astray.

Yes stop it.

You’d make a killing. Follow through on your ideas.

I’ve also considered how effortlessly one could gain thousands of followers on social media by adopting a black conservative far-right persona and constantly posting misinformation and insulting da libs.

All the time

As Trump fills his cabinet with crooks and project 2025 operatives, folks are whining about Biden pardoning his son after a four year witch-hunt by republicans

Cry me a river.

Project 2025 will impact us.

A Biden being pardoned won’t.

They want divide society into winners and losers—but the real tragedy is that those they view as ‘losers’ keep cheering for the very people and system that seeks to exploit them.

Loyalty to the oppressor doesn’t make you free; it makes you complicit.

The annual Christmas village is under construction

Plutocracy is simply communism reimagined to serve the wealthy elite.

And that’s where we’re headed.

So we gonna have an idiot for Treasury czar. Great

Naa I’m not praying for Trump’s success.

His policies suck.

I’ll pray for his soul, his victims, and the ethnic groups he likes to target.

But I’m not praying for his success as potus

I’d like to think we’re in an action movie, at the point where the villains appear to have the upper hand, but the good guys will ultimately prevail—and the bad guys will fail spectacularly.

The problem with the Joe and Mika kerfuffle is thad people are fed up that the bad guys have a whole network (Fox News) behind them while the good guys have zero media outlets fighting on their behalf.

They want to make America into a full blown plutocracy

There is no justification for normalizing a guy that sexually abused women.

None whatsoever

Evangelicals owe Bill Clinton an apology

Great point

I wonder if this is true

That’s what I said on Twitter

How pathetic

So they’ve just forgotten that Trump is a rapist and convict?
