I've been shouting from the rooftops about this for years. I feel like Ian Malcolm in when the T-Rex broke out of the paddock and he said "Boy do I hate being right all the time." The Obama administration really broke something in these white nationalists' brains. Anytime Black people or other POCs obtain any type of advancement the backlash from white supremacists is swift. This current era feels like the post Reconstruction era, where the rights of Black Americans were stripped down after a betrayal by the Supreme Court and we were led into Jim Crow. JC Penny suits replaced the KKK hoods, but their motive is still the same, cripple Black voting power, hamstring Black economic advancement, attack HBCUs, gaslight and deflect while they do trifling stuff, etc. The effects of their efforts will trickle down to other POCs, just as it has done in the past.
People underestimate just how many among our populace is still mad about the 1960s Civil Rights legislation, they really want a return to pre 1954.
