I have been processing the Supreme Court’s recent decision regarding TPS and its implications for hundreds of thousands of Haitians and others in this country.
Sadly, I totally agree with your analysis, Eddie. Your recent book—and Ibram’s Chain of Ideas—underscore that this ugliness is systemic and deep-seated. The cruelty of the recent Supreme Court decision is staggering.
Well said. White Nationalists also think they’re too good to clean toilets and scrub floors, so what will they do when there’s no one to handle the work they won’t do? And with all people of color banished, they’ll have no one they can look down on. What then?
Megyn Kelly has always been ignorant and she’s giddy about something she will never understand. We are all God’s children and Jesus was a brown Jew, not a blue eyed white man.
Omgs, how disgusting they are! I just don’t know what to say other than I am so sorry and sad, and mostly because this reaction and attitude isn’t new to you, Eddie, or to other people of color. Absolute deplorables!
Perhaps if the whites would intermingle with the blacks and the blacks would intermingle with the whites then in a few generations we would all look the same and all the racists in this country would have nothing to complain about. I realize this is pure fancy and nothing more than a dream at this time but wouldn’t it be nice if we loved each other as human beings?
I am sorry Professor Eddie but we know the risk that we take when we call out the devil. But we also know the greater cost of remaining silent and not speaking the truth. I am praying for you and keep telling the truth.
Here I go again "Liking" something that I hate reading. But your truth is what I need and I am so glad that you are still speaking out. It's so important to name the problem. The disease of racism. The fact that we are stuck, stuck in this system that subjugates one group and raises another up---completely artificially. Barack Obama is so right---we are more like each other than different----but that fact TERRIFIES folks who believe in white supremacy. It does not soothe them at all. Interestingly, Megyn Kelly and her ilk really need people to despise, people to feel superior to. If they actually were able to eliminate all people of color----who would they hate?

Racism is racism. White privilege is white privilege. You guys out there need to own it so we can get somewhere. Sorry

I'm so sorry, Dr. Glaude. This harms all of us, whether some of us know it or not. Thank you for your important work.
I can't even say " How did we get here?" because the truth is we were always here. That said, I can't stand Megyn Kelly, never could.
As ever, admiring your fortitude. Thank you.
