Final Episode

This is sadly a predictable outcome. Black, Brown, Muslim, and Indigenous folks have already dealt with this reality. It’s the consequence of being constructed as the other. I talked to scholars about this on the final episode Unsettling Extremism open.spotify.com/episode/3umc...

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

It’s really quite simple to understand this. It’s harder to follow convoluted logic that wants you to believe otherwise.

It assumes that we are dumb enough to believe that he didn’t know what he was doing. If he knew enough to want to advocate for ‘free speech’ he knew enough to know better. Get outta here with that bs.

If the mask fits…

This is the part people don’t get, you don’t get to be racist without it having some very material (and moral and spiritual) costs. Not only do you lose any kind of credibility but also your own humanity.
