White people are effectively banning their own discomfort all over the country. Why I think we should be VERY concerned.

Happy holidays everybody! For the next few episodes we’re going to be playing some of our greatest hits. This is one of them.

One tool of the oppressor is to throw so much oppression your way that you can’t possibly be effective at fighting back any of it.

For most of the past year, I was irritated by white people organizing to ban what they were calling Critical Race Theory, but I am already committed to so many other causes and fights that I just didn’t have the time or focus to make that cause my own.

But here’s the thing – they aren’t actually banning Critical Race Theory across the country. They are banning the truth telling of Black history and American history – all because that truthful telling makes millions of white people VERY uncomfortable.

And they are winning. White people all over the country are, in essence, making their comfort into law. And it’s an extremely dangerous precedent. It’s not on the way to becoming dangerous. We’re already there.

When white comfort becomes law, we should all be very concerned. I’ll unpack and explain it.
