People seem to be falsely equating “a calm demeanor” with civility.
A slur said with a smile is still a slur. Dehumanizing language couched within “Hey, friend, agree to disagree…” is still violence. It’s not your tone that dictates civility, it’s your words, actions, and beliefs.

*Policies* can't be the only prescription to heal what's clearly broken in our nation.
While policy change is important, what is needed most is communal solidarity & accountability.
