Words cannot express my sorrow and humiliation as a white American and my frustration and rage at my inability to effect real change. What can we do?
i have a related pitch for politico. what if - hear me out - we designated an entire race of people as say, three fifths of a normal white human? and we put these people to work on plantations, and - get this this is wild - we didnt pay them? and we chained em up? BIG IDEA.pic.twitter.com/B9duIWD5z5

Don’t despair. Work to elect decent people. At. Every. Level.

Also, I know white people get conditioned to not talk about race because it's somehow "impolite" or something but. Find ways to get comfortable talking about uncomfortable things with your white friends, family/family of choice. SafetyPinBox has concrete steps to take.

We maybe can't change everything overnight, but we can certainly help be part of the solution.

Some countries in Europe did this - allowed visas for people returning from abroad with native servants - and it was outright slavery. This is such a terrible terrible idea I can't even say how terrible an idea it was.

I'm horrified. Speechless.

Two authors wrote that article, and presumably an editor read it, and it was published in

WTF is wrong with Politico?

Even by today's standards, this piece is absolutely horrific.

And it's sad that "even by today's standards" is a thing.
