re: #88 HappyWarrior

I see more bitching about college students who have the nerve to be upset about bigotry than actual anger at the actual bigots. I was having a conversation with a cousin the other day, she’s a bit older than me (Gen Xer versus my mlleninal) but we both agreed that a lot racism seems like it’s gotten worse than when she and I were younger. In some ways, I like where we’ve headed as a country but there’s a lot of ugliness still.

Sadly, electing the first black President seems to have uncovered a lot of racism that had previously been below the level of detection. It’s as if a lot of white people think that once ‘we gave them the White House’, it magically cured everything, and black people would just shut up about racism.
