Thanks for the memory of the origin of the “Black Lives Matter” phrase. Remember thinking it was very well phrased, but the outrage at the injustice faded, sporadically rekindled and hopefully now established to the point of some actions to resolve or set our path to resolve these injustices. Maybe an excellent start is the take down of Tucker Carlson.
I also hope that Carlson saying the implicit racism of conservatism explicitly, without "the pretense of politeness", represents the reactionary flailing of a dying white supremacist ideology. But then I still see white supremacism being dangerously normalized so long as it is dressed up in more respectable clothing-- i.e. The New York Times' Tom Cotton Op-Ed, which was a disgusting, authoritarian call for the military to INVADE US cities treated like a legitimate opinion.
He's an ass. I remember him saying that those on social security don't deserve our social security checks because we never "paid" into the system, that the money was taken from my our payroll. Tucker if you are reading, I don't recall any employer ever leaving FICA on the table for negotiation. I PAID YOU ASS! Also, loved, "Tucker Carlson becomes more enraged than Joan Crawford spotting a dirt stain". ROFLOL!
Fear mongering and marginalizing is a tactic that has been used by white supremacist for many decades. With the ability to research information at a click of a button now just maybe people can see that this is just archaic rhetoric!! The older white Americans not so much they r not computer savvy and still take what they see on TV at face value. But It does appears at least right now the younger generation r seeing past the noise and the racist narrative.
Great article Lauren. Thank you! Tucker Carlson (Sean Hannity too- well really, Fox News as a whole) are a real menace to society. Sellouts without honor or integrity. Your work is important and GOOD. Ignore the ignorant buttheads and Block. Block. Block.
So anyone who you don't agree with is a racist. People who don't support anarchy in our streets are racist. People of color who are not burning our cities down are racist. Sounds like a bunch of leftist intolerant vs to me

A grown up College Republican Weenie. And they are the worst.
