It’s true. Racism is not a form of insanity it is a form of conformity & and expression of status quo enforcement. Among laymen it is an uncritical acceptance of a set of beliefs into which they were enculturated. Among the upper class it is a method of controlling those unwilling to unlearn.

Plenty to reflect about re: the Arday affair, but I'm going to repeat this one thing. The playbook the right used here is effective even though it's not especially sophisticated, as it relies on the audience to do the dirty work.

So many immigrants I've interviewed break down about this. "Monsanto Maler was one of several Haitian immigrants who traveled from Springfield for a check in...after an ankle monitor was attached to him, Maler was seen collapsing to the ground and crying." www.springfieldnewssun.com/local/hundre...

Hundreds of people gathered outside a federal immigration office Sunday morning to show support for Haitian immigrants from Springfield who were called to report for immigration check-ins.

I don’t think "Dem HR ladies" is labor coded or working class aligned. It comes from the same place everything that is terrible in the last two years has come from. The backlash to the Me Too and Black Lives Matter movements.

ICE agents shot and killed another person: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He was an immigrant, and I hope his immigration status doesn’t stop the public from caring. I hope we don’t grow accustomed to these killings. I hope his family has the support they need to survive his death. I hope. I hope. I hope.
