In 1954, the SCOTUS decided Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark opinion famous for its ruling that "separate but equal [is] inherently unequal" and education "is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms."

6 years into being a Cassandra Among Cassandras, I'm realizing how similar Collapse and Covid (or any invisible disease transmission) are, psychologically.
Pointing out the signs and symptoms looks like hysteria/hyperchondria even after people enter the denial and bargaining of near death phase.

one thing about racism is the way people will ignore the most likely explanation for something like having a Nazi tattoo for 20 years.
the most simple and obvious explanation was that he knew what it was and kept it. his excusers need to stop the embarrassing mental gymnastics.
