"A white man killed another white man for reasons we still don’t know, with a gun I don’t think he should have had, but Black people are catching death threats. That doesn’t make sense, unless you understand how deeply racist this country is. Black people are being fired from jobs and harassed online for insufficiently venerating a white supremacist, and having the temerity to describe his beliefs in public." #racism #fascism #WhiteSupremacy thenation.com/article/politics

The Nation · Threatening Vulnerable People Is No Way to Mourn Someone Who Was MurderedThose who had nothing to do with the violence against Charlie Kirk are being menaced—just like always.

#CharlieKirk wasn’t a fan, either, criticizing #Disney when it closed Splash Mountain rides at theme parks 3 years ago because they were based on a 1946 film about the plantation life in the South. The move, his website posted, was “destructive to our cultural & societal fabric.”

Apparently that wasn’t enough.

In April, the #FCC sent a a blistering letter to #Disney CEO #BobIger saying it suspected the company was so thoroughly “infected” with “invidious” practices *favoring* *minorities* that it had no choice but to open an *investigation*.

Among other questions, the probe sought to determine whether Disney had really ended policies designed to ensure characters in its shows & its hiring practices favored “underrepresented groups.”

I see a lot of people saying that racist, colonial empires were Antifa because they defeated the even worse racist, colonial states in 1945.

That's unfortunately the kind of thinking that brought us to this moment of rising fascism.
