Which is worse: handing a noose to a lynch mob or electing a white supremacist president? Is a legislator who creates racist policies worse than a lone wolf who commits an act of racial terrorism? Segregationists or redliners? The Klan or COINTELPRO?
Unlike some people, I believe that America has always been great. Even if the current administration manages to completely dismantle the democratic principles and civil liberties for which Black people fought, they can never take away the admiration and pride that I have for the most innovative country that ever existed. Even if you don’t believe in the myth of meritocracy and American exceptionalism, you have to admit:
We are exceptional racists.
Unlike … well, every other social, political and economic issue in the world, some people believe we can solve racism by not talking about it. (Unless, of course, you talk about DEI, CRT, wokeness or whatever new word they co-opt as a euphemism for “not white” ). Thankfully, that protocol no longer exists.
Now that the country has collectively decided to completely abandon the idea of a “more perfect union,” we wanted to pause to remember the trailblazers and pioneers who took an idea conceived in Thomas Jefferson’s basement (next to his raping table) and turned it into a thing to behold. While we hold all these great white men in high esteem, the capitalist ethos on which this great nation was built demands that we ask the most American question of all:
Who is the racism GOAT?
