You aren’t listening to me if you think I am saying I haven’t been in an environment that was actively being racist towards black people, I am saying I can’t easily point to a single place and say “look there! Racism against black people! Catch it!” because I am fortunate to live in a fairly progressive place.
The racism is still VERY much there, but it is structural often, harder to point to, that is my point.
This headline hurts my brain, it feels like a grammatical contortion of normalcy into a possible alternate future that may not be the path chosen
