"Wasn't a time consumed by 'scorched earth angry politics.'" Yeah, 1992 was the same Rodney King riots. So many white people love to believe everything was great and fine and dandy during that time and I would really like to scorch that narrative from the fucking earth.https://twitter.com/EW/status/988766097464872961 …

It only SEEMED fine because every white person had a collective shrug and then went on with their lives, unaffected. Or worse, took it as license to grow more conservative and afeared. Gay americans suffered horrible prejudice. It was the AIDS epidemic. List goes on and on.

Everyone thinks "now" is so divisive, but it always was. It's just the disenfranchised are gaining more and more traction, power, and influence and so suddenly the divisions feel more real to the shruggers. But they were always real. So so real.

Even that narrative is slanted wrong. Black americans by miles feel more aggrieved to the point of basically having PTSD from the daily act of living and yet the ability to act out on that would be met with a swift retribution
