A "narrative" isn't necessarily the truth, the reality. And exceedingly so these days although one narrative or another might stumble close to it every once in a while. By using the word narrative it is an admission that Truth is not even the goal. People that employ the word are afraid of even the word "truth". It's light frightens them. Mrkim I wonder if you are kidding here. Doesn't matter. People aren't racist because they are white. They are racist because they are misguided or otherwise bent or broken human beings. And it doesn't matter which direction the racist vector points. Let's not bend them further. The "narrative" that ONLY white people can be racist is straight up BULLSHIT. EVIL BULLSHIT. NO human being gets off the hook for their bad attitudes or behavior. And the suggestion that if someone says it often enough that it will be accepted must be opposed at every mention. It is unacceptable. What is going on in our cities make Mrkim's emoji even more poignant. It is violent. And these perpetrators belief that they will win is about to be stuffed! (there is nothing wrong with protesting)
I've already noted (Woberto's link to the Justine post) how fucked up they are up there in Minnesota. Chicago ain't much better. Lightfoot has restricted access to the city. But why would any reasonable person want to go there now? A lot of the suburbs are OK.
