You have exposed a hideous double-standard. (1) You cite the case of "the white woman in Minnesota who became a social media sensation, repeatedly calling a child a nigger. She capitalized on the incident by receiving hundreds of thousands in donations." (2) We also have people who are protesting the policies of a government -- policies with many deem nothing short of genocide. The difference is that the first is apparently protected under "freedom of speech," while the other is not.

That is right. The double-standard is insidious.

We need to treat this tumor before it spreads, imbeds & becomes COMPLETELY INOPERABLE.

The first should be protected speech. There’s no such thing as hate speech. Where’s the crime? It ain’t illegal to call people names.

It was ALMOST ALWAYS under the surface. The current MISADMINISTRATION has just brought it boiling up to the surface.

We'll see the Tuskegee Airmen vanish from the history records. Probably the Cherokee Trail of Tears. The Japanese Americans who were unjustly detained because they were " different " even if they were citizens.

I’m more concerned with official acts like some fool shooting off their mouths. If she still votes Dem, I’ll forgive her soul. We now have an objectively anti-Black Administration for the first time in a very long time IMHO. We got more important fish to fry here.

Wish there was a “guaranteed anti-racist deprogramming program”. Unfortunately, you are right, there is no way to change these people’s minds. In fact, their brains are wired to accept only what their indoctrination has taught them. They literally cannot hear or retain anything that opposes their dogma. Trying to reason with them is a complete waste of breath.

Definitely a study in the effects of propaganda.
