Working on prison reform? Believe it or not:
Scarborough has terrible takes. He bloviates with the best of them and this seems like another off-the-cuff rambling in hopes of something he wishes were true based on the thinnest pretext.
Him and his wife kissed the ring after the election. Networks at work, keeping people calm. They want you to think this will blow over, don’t go protest, Trump will stop with all this Elon shit any minute now… just let the snowball grow and keep thinking it’ll get smaller as it rolls.
It’s only an anecdote, but I was raised in a very white town and watched a ton of TV growing up. I was a political nerd in elementary school. Needless to say, I was very cool…
Anyways. When I left my small town I discovered that much of why I learned from my parents, my community, and the TV was very, very racist. If you don’t have a lot of minorities, and the only information is coming from racist, you just don’t know better. I was lucky to end up around a lot of minorities who helped me get past my bigotry, which they had no obligation to do, they were just cool people like that.
In short, if you don’t know a lot of black, brown, gay, or trans people, they become a blank canvas for bad actors.
