I just never stop thinking about what Jim DeRogatis said about his struggle to get people, including "good" white liberals, to care about R. Kelly's crimes.
He said he learned the hard way how little people care about Black women, who were the victims. And it guts me how right he is.

Ha they changed it but it's still totally inadequate: "But Trump claimed Monday that a genocide was taking place in South Africa, an allegation government officials there say lacks any evidence."
You cannot ethically publish a paragraph that says "Trump claimed Monday that a genocide was taking place in South Africa" without immediately contextualizing it as a damnable, racist lie from a delusional demagogue. And yet WaPo did just that here: www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
White South Africans arrive to Dulles as refugees under Trump order
The arrival of 49 Afrikaners under an executive order that alleges they’ve faced racial discrimination restarts refugee admissions that were suspended for all other groups by the Trump administration.
