Which is why I laugh when the Pod Save America and other fake progressive corporate mouthpieces obfuscate the issue as “access to insurance”.

Context does matter, but you are picking and choosing what context matters to you. As it stands, white people wearing dark makeup to appear black is the continuation of a practice tied to the mocking of black people, and often enslaved Africans, in the US. That’s the context for this. More context for this, which a…
