I saw a dual and dueling history of racial progress and the simultaneous progression of racism. I saw the antiracist force of equality and the racist force of inequality marching forward, progressing in rhetoric, in tactics, in policies.
“It does not even present a story of racial progress of two steps forward—as embodied in Obama—and one step back—as embodied in Trump.”
I worry that this will be too melodramatic for some scholars.
However, I think looking at How Democracies Die and Let Them Eat Tweets will support this conclusion.
