“But here is the thing: It started with Rodney king”

This goes way way back beyond Rodney King. Tulsa Race Riots of 1920s that were never mentioned in any of my being brought up in Oklahoma, for example, or the fact that until the civil rights era, there were no black students admitted to certain public universities, but instead were sent to universities like Langston.

There is powerful racism in Oklahoma, and it’s not all that hidden.

Well, technically I say that the US sowed the seeds of its destruction when it tolerated slavery.

But I see the meme that is going to do us in - the last phase if you will - beginning with Rodney King.

tell you what, if you're white and you want to see some really serious racism in action, today, not 100 years ago. Come to the projects in Chicago and go around asking random black people for directions. Good luck.
