- Daily Kos, Oct. 13, 2021. - Edited. (A beverage, snack & comfy seating suggested for this in-depth report).

Lately, we appear to have crossed a new Rubicon. I do remember how things were in the ’60s & in the ’70s and lately, here in the 2020’s, it seems to be the worst it may have ever been since those times. Now, yet again, we have states implementing racial bigotry into our election systems. It seems that the ugly head of open blatant racism & bigotry has lifted and is now present in the middle of our schools & in the middle of our lives in an entirely new and dangerous way.

- Exhibit A- MINNESOTA: Black school children are being regularly assaulted & terrorized. According to the report, one Duluth Edison Charter Schools teacher allegedly cut off a student's dreadlock & threw it in the trash. The suit, originally filed in April 2019, alleges a "culture of racism at the school's Raleigh & North Star Academy campuses & school officials' refusal to address it," per NBC News. "There's been a lot of frustrated families in the Duluth Edison community," said Rebekah Bailey, an attorney representing the parents. "The families in this case, all they really ever wanted is for their children to be treated fairly at school. They fought long & hard to remedy their individual situations as best they could through the system. This case was only filed when they exhausted those opportunities."

"The lawsuit said that white students bit, punched, kicked, pinched and spit on Black students & repeatedly called them the N-word. The white classmates also taunted them, calling them 'negro' or 'monkey' & telling them they 'look like what's inside a toilet,'" NBC News reports. "In 2017, a white student at North Star Academy threatened to stab a Black kindergartner in the eye with a screwdriver because she looked 'different,' the lawsuit said. White students allegedly pinched & kicked the girl, who is biracial, on several occasions. And, during one bus ride to school, an older white student punched the girl so hard, she had a bruise on her rib, the suit states."

- According to the lawsuit, one Black student "was spit on so profusely by a white student that she had to change her clothes."

- Things like this don’t happen in a vacuum. They don’t happen in isolation. This is part of a larger anti-black anti-immigrant movement fueled by resentment and white panic. And it’s getting worse. -

- Exhibit B- GEORGIA: Ga. School threatened students who wanted to stage a protest against the Confederate Flag: CBS 46 News reports that many students were upset last week when a group of white students came in brandishing the flag while hurling racial slurs. The school quickly jumped in to clamp down on a potential protest against the flag & suspended the students who organized it. A CBS recording reveals a HS administrator announced that the protest would not be allowed over the intercom system last week. - "The administration is aware of tomorrow's planned protest." Police will be present here at school & if students insist on encouraging this kind of activity they will be disciplined for encouraging unrest." - *Note they didn’t call the police when white students protested with the Traitor Flag but then did threaten to do so when black students planned to protest against it..

- Exhibit C- MISSOURI: A black student in MO was punished for reporting that another student used the N-word against her.. "It is the same district where students reported a teacher used a racial slur in class the day before "..

This is what we’re dealing with...

- "I think its empowerment is because the last generation to fight fascism is nearly dead. Racism and other "otherisms" are the fuel of fascism, and the people encouraging modern racism are clearly doing it for fascist goals.. It is a human flaw, a cheat code to the worst instincts of many people. It doesnt matter the race, plenty of people are easily motivated to hate the people in the next country, valley, town, neighborhood, or church." -

2. Jim Crow never died

But I'm gonna go out on a limb here and state that the bamboozling by the "drown it in a bathtub" crowd, fueled by their obscenely hubristic mega-pastor brethren want us all to just forget about this:

“The Top 1% of Americans Have Taken $50 Trillion From the Bottom 90%—And That’s Made the U.S. Less Secure” [Time]. ” But in addressing the causes and consequences of this pandemic—and its cruelly uneven impact—the elephant in the room is extreme income inequality. How big is this elephant? A staggering $50 trillion. That is how much the upward redistribution of income has cost American workers over the past several decades. This is not some back-of-the-napkin approximation. According to a groundbreaking new working paper by Carter C. Price and Kathryn Edwards of the RAND Corporation, had the more equitable income distributions of the three decades following World War II (1945 through 1974) merely held steady, the aggregate annual income of Americans earning below the 90th percentile would have been $2.5 trillion higher in the year 2018 alone. That is an amount equal to nearly 12 percent of GDP—enough to more than double median income—enough to pay every single working American in the bottom nine deciles an additional $1,144 a month. Every month. Every single year.”

The 1% is buying up EVERYTHING and we're all drowning out here, in the bathtub they hath wrought.
