I can't help but notice that Kyle Rittenhouse, and the two men who have made attempts to shoot guns at TFG, are screaming "angry white men with guns" ... not immigrants causing crime. Facts over feelings.

I believe that Resmaa Menakem nailed the guilt ridden underpinnings of hate in "My Grandmother's Hands".

Thank you for this. Excellent. I must have missed the first piece and will go back to read it. Looking forward to reading your wonderful wife’s recommendation you mentioned too.

Thank you for this post, and the articles and information you shared.

Warsan Shire's poem, Home, should be required reading for everyone. It is a powerful, wrenching statement on the reasons people flee their home country.

Thank you for your comment, Leanna. Thank you for sharing "Home" which I have posted as a note. The poem could only be written by someone who has suffered the horrors that it describes— it tears at your heart. Thank you...

Thank you for your compassionate and thoughtful comment, David. The credit for this post goes to the sources I noted that documented the findings that I shared— and to the millions who have written with their blood and tears in the sands of time...

Thank you for your insights— the memes are constructed based on research to specifically target us, exploiting, perhaps, a certain degree of intellectual laziness on our part.

Thanks Ann. It is disturbing to see a 25% drop in the human attention span over 15 years...
