There’s an entire Tumblr dedicated to getting racists fired, and it can be glorious and cathartic.

I was just about the write this same thing. They see it as an erosion of their rights.

Reminder that African-American women achieve the highest outcomes of any demographic by race and gender. And that’s despite (in spite of?) nonsense like this.

According to the American Heart Association, you are correct:

Eugenics within the United States (California in particular) was so prolific that members of the Nazi party asked for advice on how to run their own program in the 1930s.

I bet that there are some on the ACLU website. I was just scanning through there this morning looking for stats on women incarcerated for violent offenses, and I know that I saw some information about bail bonds and women broken down by race.

As a related aside, I really appreciate when writers write transcripts of video. I have difficulties understanding speech occasionally and prefer to read captions when they’re available. Your efforts make the news much more accessible to people.

I wanted to know more about the twisted spine, so here’s an article detailing the findings if anyone is interested!

I absolutely would have posted this letter — though I would have prefaced it with scathing commentary — because I feel that people need to know that this sort of bigotry does exist. And this is even more important when the person espousing those beliefs are in a…
