The rewriting of African American history is awful. I honestly think at this point a university like Duke should lose its accreditation for breeding so many shameless leaders pandering to hate.
There has been a trend of dismantling multi-cultural democracies in favor of religious ethno-states in the past decade. This happened in Hungary, Russia, Brazil, Israel, and some Asian & African countries. It looks likely that the US is next, but I'm waiting to see if a 3rd term happens.
I'm not sure what to do. Your article does show how much nuance is involved with the thought exercises, but authoritarian personalities are cognitively stressed (by economic strain and/or the illusions social media creates) so they prefer binary thinking.
For me though, I went to find a place where racism doesn't impact me. After doing digital nomad gigs in Asia last year, and not experiencing any racism, I'm moving to Asia next. I was never the last guy to be served after people who arrived later than me. People were okay if I struck up a conversation with them or vice versa (in their language). I could rent a place prettily easily even though I didn't work in tech at the time. I am back in tech now (horribly unavoidable but AI killed the writing industry). I'm just waiting on my Philippine passport. Hope all is well.
Hey Barce! You are spot on and people are in denial. The only thing we can do is stand up for human decency and the rights of others with our actions.
Living in the Philippines sounds like quite the adventure. And it's very cool that you are immersing yourself in and learning about those cultures - I would say that is exactly the spirit of democracy!
