The racial reckoning enveloping the country confirms that post-racial America was nothing but a pipe dream. The sheer depth and intensity of the reinvigorated Black Lives Matter protests portends the making of a Civil Rights Movement 2.0.
As more demands are made for structural and systemic changes around policing, incarceration, housing, health care, employment and education, there is much to be hopeful for as the nation struggles to create a new democracy out of its collective action.

And hyphenated too. He's special.
Sure if the conversation involves you hectoring me endlessly about how America was born in corruption and is a rotten POS, sign me up!
my head hurts.
If we are all part of the human race, as i keep hearing, then there should be NO discussion on race, at all.
The Marxist some, "Black Lives Matter" if they advance the cause of Marxism, movement has set back race relations a generation.
I maintain that there is no racism in America. There is not a single law on the books that discriminates against “people of color”. There are laws that make it illegal, however.
Sure. Let’s have a “conversation.”
My part goes “Eff you. Slavery ended 150 years ago. Get over it.”
Trouble is:
THAT’S ALL THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT.
Get a hobby.
“The guy is an “American Studies” professor. That is all I need to know what he says is vomit.”

“Discussion about race” means white people shut up or get doxxed or fired.
If a white person ventures an opinion (other than parroting the officially accepted rostrums) he is in danger of being accused of racism, no matter how well-intentioned his remarks.

I’m not going to talk about race with anyone except my resident family members. No percentage in it.
The answer is because in reality racism today is mostly a product of race hustling which Americans know has no credibility.
If someone interrupts me and says “let’s talk about ‘X’, and I like and/or respect the person interrupting me, then I’ll go along with it and talk about X.
But if it’s someone I think has an agenda based on lies, then I will keep going and not give the time of day to that person.
My brother-in-law lost his job a couple of weeks ago because of “insensitive” social media content. Why a 62-year-old man didn’t realize it was the stupidest possible time to be venting his feelings is a separate conversation we won’t have ...
Its never a discussion. Its a one way rant.
her supply of Twinkies is dangerously low.
We can’t have this conversation because it starts with O.J. did it.
