It might be easy to find things like this merely petty or superficial, but that would be a mistake. Demeaning, erasing or eliminating celebrations or acknowledgments of Black America is straight from Redemption playbook, and is intended to reinforce the racial hierarchy and signal its reinstatement.

How many of us have had that conversation… telling someone that they have a disease that will progressively cause cognitive decline? Or loss of mobility?

The fear and sadness this provokes?
