(18,124 posts)disregard the actions that have pushed this artist in her realization of how a systemically and institutionalized racism in a so called democracy could hurt her so much that she drops the mask of 'civility' and tells the truth about what she has experienced at the hands of white americans. I find so much discrediting of the person and no acknowledgement of the hurt and hate perpetrated against this woman by a racist system designed to create hurt and hate in a POC. And if those POC should allow themselves to feel their pain and speak out about it, they are being uncivil and oh so angry.
No idea of pain, just afraid of the anger is the typical response of those who benefit from a system that they revel in.
Sad indeed, the level of WILLFUL ignorance and total denial of facts among so called liberal and progressives. THIS is a major cause of the perpetuation of racism in america. Period.
