...it's always a pleasure and a privilege to share these experiences.
I'm a bit chagrined, though, how hollow and ancient it all seems with the dearth of replies; and with the concerted effort from this one man and his flunkies in the WH mostly unabated, even here at DU.
What do we need to do to get people to realize they're speaking up for THEMSELVES when they acknowledge the histories of their counterparts made vulnerable, essentially by political INACTION the last major election.
Silence is so many's reply.
So insidiously enabling and self-destructive that it's bewildering; except in some delusion that there's some refuge for themselves in hunkering down; or becoming apathetic; or belief in some automatically assured assuaging of the risk to self that comes with time passed.
Is there still some deep-seated antipathy born out of the centuries of denigration and demagoguery to so many must have personally used to justify criminalizing migration violations like we're under invasion as Trump and republicans have claimed without any proof at all.
Or influenced by decades and decades of a political cottage industry that opportunistically campaigns on demagoguery that black communities and individuals are 'crime-ridden,' and by extension, the people who reside there falsely and maliciously represented as a threat to be put down with unlawful and unconstitutional force.
How is it that so many are silent in response to this con? They should be furious. SO many, instead of taking responsibility, just shirk it.
