She lives in Spokane. Until the 2000s, the city was 95% white. The Black population was less than 1% Black until 1990. And they STILL HAD SEGREGATED NEIGHBORHOODS! She’s not lying. She literally didn’t see color.
When I was growing up in the 1970s and 1980s no one saw color. We were all just Americans. Why did that change?

A sundown or sunset town was a town, city, or neighborhood in the US that excluded non-whites after dark. The term sundown came from the signs that were posted stating that people of color had to leave the town by sundown. A THREAD!

Them: “quit virtue signaling” What I hear: “you made me feel bad about myself and I can’t conceive of a viewpoint beyond my own”
Walking my dog in a mask for my own safety and a wretched cyclist man passing us said “look at you virtue signaling” Truly fascinating

Journalism is cooked!
Bob Woodward, on 'Morning Joe,' mentions having breakfast yesterday with WaPo CEO Will Lewis and exec editor Matt Murray: “They are committed to being very aggressive, to look at what Trump might be doing. But I think the motto is ‘no cheap shots.’”

Every Black woman in America empathizes with Kamala right now. Overwhelming qualified. Still doubted.

I cannot stress this enough. It’s why this country will never progress.
Because white people and poc are ok with living shitty lives as long as they believe Black people will be living worse. They see the word slavery and automatically imagine us back in chains

Saying that politics shouldn't divide friendships just sound like you voted for a Cheeto puff with a bad lace front to me

Black people are relatively well prepared for what’s about to happen because it’s happened to us before. America has done this to us before. It’s just about to widen the aperture to a bunch of people who ain’t used to it.
