Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Being an American is no zero sum. A 5 year old immigrant is not taking something from a 5 year old citizen. But that’s what these ghouls want you to believe — that being an immigrant is being a thief. They want you to believe that because, in their view, the real crime is that they are not white.
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

Gonzales said we must be a nation of laws but also compassionate in enforcing them. Note: the crime many immigrants are guilty of is a civil offense. The right WANTS TO PUNISH THEM, however, so hypes the crime to match the punishment. And it does that because the real crime is being brown.

Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

"religious" as a signifier of laudatory authenticity & virtue is reserved for white evangelicals while ignoring liberal denominations & black churches which are more historically rooted & theologically informed, and disparaging nonchristian religious conservatives eg muslims as foreign & backward
Lost in the Don Lemon story is this. Armstrong led a religious protest against a religion appeasing evil. This fact is lost, b/c the press corps strips the religious expression of Black people, representing their acts as only political. This allows the right to claim religious persecution.

This is just true. Pop culture is no longer exclusively dominated by what english speaking America produces.
“Bad Bunny’s performance isn’t just the story of the ascendancy of a single performer, or of one genre,” Noah Shachtman writes. “It’s the sign of something bigger still. America’s pop culture is today multilingual, polycultural and international at its very core.”
Opinion | The Culture War Is Over. Bad Bunny Won.
American pop culture is global pop culture, and vice versa.
