IT'S NO ACCIDENT THAT: You learned about Helen Keller instead of W.E.B. DuBois You learned about the Watts and L.A. Riots, but not Tulsa or Wilmington. You learned that George Washington's dentures were made from wood, rather than the teeth from slaves. You learned about black ghettos, but not about Black Wall Street. You learned about the New Deal, but not "red lining." You learned about Tommie Smith's fist in the air at the 1968 Olympics, but not that he was sent home the next day and stripped of his medals. You learned about "black crime," but white criminals were never lumped together and discussed in terms of their race. You learned about "states rights" as the cause of the Civil War, but not that slavery was mentioned 80 times in the articles of secession. Privilege is having history rewritten so that you don't have to acknowledge uncomfortable facts. Racism is perpetuated by people who refuse to learn or acknowledge this reality.

I'm scared that NASA will be next. They're competition.

She's a right wing fundamentalist. She was raised a right wing fundamentalist, and she continues to be one. She's just on a different bird.
