Before W it was Reagan, before Reagan it was Nixon, before Nixon it was the Business Plot, before the Business Plot it was the Pinkertons, before the Pinkertons it was the literal cessation and subsequen war over slavery, before the Civil War it was the 3/5th Compromise, before that it was the first slaves brought to the Americas, before that it was Columbus being so monsteously awful by early 1500s standards that he was stripped of all of his titles by the spanish monarchy. We’ve always had crazy fucking racism embedded in the bones of our culture.
We don’t deserve the forgiveness of the geopolotical community until we hold the people in power accountable, if ever.
