‘Black Lives Matter’ and the G.O.P.
The movement is not just about police conduct, it’s about society as a whole.
"This was an eloquent exposition of the absurdity of race as a biological construct, but also an absurdly elementary avoidance of racism
as a very real social construct. I wish it were that people could all
simply “move beyond that” at will, that they were able to simply choose
to slough off the cumulative accrual of centuries of systematic
anti-black negativity. But, that is not a power people possess.
Point taken.
