Denial is the heartbeat of racism, beating across ideologies, races, and nations.
“The truth of course is that if people really were as happy as they look on the Internet, they wouldn’t spend so much damn time on the Internet, because no one who’s having a really good day spends half of it taking pictures of themselves.

“Race and racism are power constructs of the modern world.

Once they clearly benefit, most Americans will support and become the defenders of the antiracist policies they once feared.”
