I read the short story, "#SpaceTraders", by #DerrickBell thanks to a rec in a thread.

It's well-told and thought provoking; the last line, devastating.

I do wish it had portrayed a United States in an economic situation closer to the 1950's than to the dystopic state of the story so readers today could get caught in their own hypocrisy.

We've always been sacrificed; most of the 85% abide our oppression for their comfort.

"They're evil and selfish"

And you're doing what, exactly?

@legalkimchi provides the best explanation of #CriticalRaceTheory I have seen so far, pointing out along the way that recently-created laws don't actually outlaw CRT - but they *do* outlaw criticism of the U.S.
