Whole lotta people - both white and non-white - actin real white in the QRTs. Mikki is accurately noting that the rot in this country is DEEP and FOUNDATIONAL and must be reckoned with appropriately. But the white ass discourse in response insists on ignoring that in favor of "aspiration"
I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow
