Heather Cox Richardson 5/22/25U.S. History of Wealth and Racism
In the United States, racism has always gone hand in hand with the concentration of wealth among the very richest people.
By driving white fear of a darker-skinned other, elite southern enslavers convinced the poor white farmers who lost their land in the cotton boom of the 1850s to vote for politicians who insisted that the primary responsibility of the federal government was to protect human enslavement. -

...and on the note of the Israel thing, let's move on to #antisemitism, and #racsim in general.
There is a VERY serious problem, in this country, of people #stereotyping others based entirely on demographics. Too many people in the #US do not understand that you cannot make any assumption about a person based on #SkinColor alone, let alone the complex relationship between #Jewish people, who have suffered 1000s of years of #persecution, and #Israel, a country they see as a last safe-haven in events like the #holocaust.
Tossing aside the stark contrast in expanding protections for #marginalized groups, as opposed to totally ending them, the way people in prominent positions speak plays a lot into this.
Harris's talk of unity, looking past our differences, of accepting each other as #Americans and #Human beings, is exactly what we need a leader to do right now. Contrast with her opponents saying despicable things like "Jews will be to blame".

Watching the original Peter Pan animated movie. My, but the "indians" are ...problematic. I get the "product of its time" but I hadn't seen this since I was a kid, decades ago.
On the main, I believe works should remain unendited for changing times. Include an explanation of the context, and have a discussion about it.
But, oh my.

When I saw the #fakenews story of Ms Lee in the #mainstreammedia, I thought 'Iraqi Weapons of Mass destruction'! The story is a perfect example of 'British' #racsim, but the https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/why-we-shouldnt-fall-chinese-influence-scare-westminster says it better than me.
