What's most fascinating to me about the discourse around the #NABJ Trump interview is how many people think Scott's opening question was "hostile". It really reflects the reality of so many #BIPOC folks-- where literally just saying that someone has done something racist (especially in the workplace), even just repeating back their own racist words/ actions, (no matter *what* tone you use) gets you labeled "hostile" or "aggressive" or "angry". Saying the question was "hostile" speaks volumes.
From the perspective of the racists, the problem is never with them. Whenever their interactions with the rest of us go sideways, the fault is always with the person of color. The GOP used to to call itself the "party of personal responsibility." Now it is the party of other people's personal responsibility.
