You thought the national racism was exposed when Barack Obama ran for President.. then you heard that upon his election that racism was over.
Well, gird your loins.. You will hear racist and sexist comments galore in the coming months, immediately followed by:
"Lighten up, it's only a joke."
"I was only kidding."
"But am I wrong?"
"I'm just saying."
"What about.."
..Not just from facebook and twitter comments, but also from fairly intelligent people you know and love and once admired..
@evamarie Truth be told.. I am glad I am skipping the beach house family reunion this summer. I just don't have it in me to a-fix the fake smile and ignore the Fox News based messaging. I don't feel like not losing my temper. I am tired of self-correcting to not make waves. I am tired of being called "comrade" just because I think govt should help people and opportunities should be more available. I do not want to be around my brothers. Sad but true.
The silver lining to the pandemic?
