Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.
Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

We're at risk, but a big gap between where US and parts of Europe are and where Australia is. The far right haven't had any significant increases in polling in a decade or more, unlike parts of Europe. Vigilance, but not hyperventilation that might give it air.
