I actually really love that she’s talking about this. I had a shitty review at work this week, and feel like a total failure at life. To think that someone as respected and established as Juianne Moore could be fired kinda makes me think “you know what, no one is immune from this shit.” I know the shame she’s probably…

So, do I need to move to China or what are you saying exactly?

My birthday is also Saturday. I’ve canceled it now.

It’s Tennessee, not Kentucky.

That picture up there is the exact proof that white supremacy is a lie. What are any of them wearing? My god.

How can we make this a reality NOW???

I’m 3 months into my divorce and even though it’s hard as fuck it was the right thing for my soul, which feels free and soothed for the first time in a decade. Internet hugs.

Mine was Scott Baio. So, don’t feel too bad.

It’s terrifying.

I would join you from TN in a heartbeat.

LOL at amateur hour. Twice? lol ok.

Thanks for that. I’ll ponder it some more. I’m super curious now!

You guys are making me SO CURIOUS about this movie. Is it worth the pain? A good, wrenching cry sounds kind of cathartic right now, but also horrifying. Would you recommend?

Same for me. I also never vandalized property with swastikas, so I guess I’m afraid the Venn diagram won’t meet up, you know? I hope I’m wrong. Maybe the exposure will make all the difference.

I don’t, I was just speculating. I don’t recall many teens growing up around me (in TN of all places) that would go this far in their foolery, so I just worry this teachable moment will be lost on them. I could be way, way off and I really hope I am. I hope this opens their eyes.

Will do.

I mean, yes, I know all that, but I remember being a teenager and never doing anything of the sort like this. Maybe I didn’t go through a rebellious racist phase? I dunno. I WANT to be totally wrong. I just worry this won’t make an impact if they are already this far into their line of thinking. Or maybe it was a…

Fair enough.

I hope so, I really do. It just felt weird to me. Maybe I am 100% wrong, and I hope I am. I guess I am afraid that what they may be being taught at home is going to be more powerful than the books. Maybe they aren’t being taught that at home, either. I don’t want them put under the jail or anything, but I just fear…

I am SO bothered by this. Teaching these kids about the real and violent history that people have suffered should not be considered a punishment, but an honor. They don’t have empathy. No museum or book is going to undo that. If nothing else, they will resent the hell out of the experience, and double-down on their…
