Amazing photo by Cheney Orr from today. Black woman sitting alone on the DC Metro with a crowd of masked white supremacists on their way to the capital to march with confederate flags. There is also a deeper analogy for what I keep hearing over and over from Black people: finding themselves surrounded by white people who either do not know, or do not care, about how America looks from the Black person's perspective. #Photography #PoliticalPhotography #July4th

    @deirdresm@hachyderm.io I lived in DC during Tea Party days. Funny how the daily crowds of obese rednecks from Potterville would jam the public transit to protest what? The very government that enabled public transit for their protest, Medicaid which enabled them to be alive and the right to protest which, tbh, they preferred guns. In those days I realized how monumentally stupid much of the country was. The movie Idiocracy came out around this time, at least that’s when I saw it. Depressing

    @deirdresm@hachyderm.io Racist white guys are getting their weak white man briefs in knots - not over how this black woman was brave being surrounded by Nazis but questioning if these white supremacists are actually being openly Nazis - because they wore masks - neoliberals do this often - reply guy nuance BS.

  • @deirdresm@hachyderm.io I feel I've got a closer understanding of what it's like to be black in America right now since my stepson's wife is black. They live in L.A and I've heard numerous stories from her about white people's racism. She was once walking to the store, stopped on a sidewalk (a public place) and a white Karen called the police on her...just for being black and standing on a sidewalk in front of Karen's home looking at her phone to get directions. So no, not celebrating 'Murica today.
