if this post confuses you or makes you upset: I get it
but also I'm right

so I looked at the Supreme Court's recent under-the-radar unanimous decisions (yknow, the kind that gets trotted out to say 'they agree all the time actually!')

There's no denying, however, that the vast majority of white Americans were unopposed (at the very least) to racial fascism for most of this country's history. For centuries, that racial fascism was built on a foundation of deadly state & private violence. bsky.app/profile/bost...
Speaking in Paris at the Second International Writers Congress in 1937, Langston Hughes declared: “We Negroes in America do not have to be told what fascism is in action. We know.”
