Kindle Notes & Highlights
There’s a kind of groupthink going on here. A thought or an idea has spread from one person to the next. A meme for the mind. Once that thought locks in, these people…they can’t unthink it. It just keeps looping around their brain, repeating itself. It’s like their mind is on autopilot while this thought hijacks their body. A switch. That’s what it feels like.

Look about you. Look around. Look who’s still here. Notice that our world leaders have gone silent. Notice that our candidates and our politicians have all slipped into hiding—or joined the fray.

“This ain’t new. It’s just new to you. Rest of us have been out here dealing with this shit for decades now. Centuries. It’s only because life got all bad for you white folks that you’re opening up your eyes to it all, but the rest of us have been faced with this shit since the day we were born…”
So let’s be clear on this salient point, okay? This is not everybody. This is not some worldwide takeover. Look. Just look at who’s attacking who. This is—and I’m just going to say it here—this is some white people shit. There, I said it. Somebody had to. I’m sure your racist grandmother was a lovely person back in the day, baking her apple pies or whatever, but…I’m sorry. Look at her now. This is what happens when you let that shit fester.
