January 6th – What is White Supremacy?
As a parent, you frequency find yourself saying “I never expected to be have that conversation with my x-year old”. January 6th – yesterday – was one of those for me. I never thought I’d have to explain, to a 12 year old, white supremacy and the concept of dehumanizing others that are not like you so that your race/religion/belief can justify taking advantage of others. And even more so, having to do that in the context of why the transition between presidential administrations wasn’t going along as normal.
I’m still angry, frustrated and embarrassed for our country.
January 7th – Consequences
I’m skeptical that it will happen, but there must be consequences. For the rioters that broke into the capitol – everyone that can be identified. For the congress critters that have allowed and encouraged the DJT farce to continue/perpetuate (everyone that protested the electoral college was white, most were men – see post from January 6th). For the president and his words and encouragement to sedition. Equal application of justice under the law.
