Vandaag heft KOZP zichzelf, na vijftien jaar, op: Zwarte Piet is uit het straatbeeld verdwenen. Voorman Jerry King Luther Afriyie maakt de balans op. ‘Er zullen altijd restjes racisme zijn, maar dat betekent niet dat je geen goed mens bent.’

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Een uitstekend artikel over kindermisbruik, met name in de familie-cirkel zonder drama, zonder stigmatisering en zonder misbruik van het woord pedofilie.

Ook aardige, succesvolle mannen kunnen kinderen misbruiken. Misbruik is beangstigend, maar alledaags. Om ons veilig te voelen, verpakken we ontucht in sensatie. We vergapen ons aan slachtoffers om onszelf er maar niet in te herkennen. Zo richten we meer schade aan en krijgt het gevaar juist ruimte.
We maken een spektakel van een zedenzaak – omdat we niet kunnen verteren hoe alledaags misbruik is

For me, it's the bathetic "God help us" that makes it. God, up in heaven, listening to the billions of desperate prayers of a burning war-torn world, hears "The National Trust has put vegan tampons in the men's toilets" and thinks "Now THIS is a crisis that demands divine intervention"
