...and all of this has been described as a 'backlash' from the Obama terms in office, as validation of what we all see in our workplaces; the racism is STILL widespread, advantaged as it always was, as opportunism by far too many against people with darker skin than their own.

All of it openly encouraged, excused, and actually legislated to accommodate by politicians who made a political cottage industry out of the antipathies they foment and inflame,

Here we are with the bondage they intended for their darker skinned counterparts now being fitted for their own sweet selves, and they've never actually known that horror or felt that terror that they've blithely and wantonly inflicted on others.
