70 years ago today, Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists.

The thing I am eager to resist is this idea that racism is some kind of pond scum on top of the clear water of otherwise good American or Western political ideologies.
I think even the best (white) American political traditions have racism baked in, or dissolved in, like the salt in the stew lol.

The intense need to be righteous drives the subconscious to be let out, often in extremely dysfunctional ways. Mike Johnson, is a great example of this. Referencing restricting his son's access to porn in such a way that it indicated that he, himself, might be viewing porn. Just one example.

What does ICE have to hide?
The Department of Homeland Security has issued a new policy that allows ICE officials to block or cancel visits by members of Congress to immigration detention facilities, whenever they “deem it appropriate” or cite vague “operational concerns.”
