Some of those people (or their children) are still having breakdowns because a black person is in the same store :(
I think a lot of us have picked up, been taught, this idea that like “the past had bad stuff but it’s over now, and everyone’s better, and everyone who was fighting for bad things realized the errors of their ways and repented”.

They were raised by people who, in their day, could outright lynch that person with the consent, if not support, of the (local) law.
This is a weird take and I’m not really behind it but… people live too god damn long. If society progresses in some way over ~20 years, the fuckers that didn’t want it to are still around and still raising kids to be like them. You begin to think things are a given, then somebody like trump gives these people a voice again and we’re right back.
Yeah I don’t know what the solution is. Just killing all your ideological opponents probably isn’t it.
Preventing the concentration of wealth and power and investing heavily in education would probably help
There is no solution, society changes over lifetimes not years. The question you are asking is how do we change society quicker, but I dont think its possible. It will likely get worse as life expectancy rises, although we may have hit a peak there somewhat.
Just knowing that a black person’s ass cheeks have touched the same toilet seat as theirs is enough to make racists lose their minds.
Fuckin snowflakes
So that’s why the seat’s wet some times…
Well, to be fair bigots - and especially the north american red capped bigot - have an obsession with toilets that go far beyond racism.
what do you mean ?
trans people
ah yes yes I’ve seen the stories
Sort of a twist of fate. People not in the USA are using USA based AI services and thus using USA electricity. The irony is that it just balances out to a small degree the over size environmental impact the USA is having on the climate causing people in other countries to also suffer with AC limitations. I guess what goes round comes round.
i overheard a black preacher, the other day, on the television, assert that people who are 80 years old are “outliving” those who are “30” and “40”; while other preachers are still making outward commitments to the belief in a something-to-come. two ways in which preachers make use of eschatological thinking at the ends of history.
