You know, if you are getting all dressed up to parade a coffin containing the likeness of a little black child through town in order to frighten a little girl away from going to school, you might be the baddy here.
That’s how people who adhere to regressive politics act when they get to be shitty to the people that they hate.
这就是那些思想倒退的政客拥趸在有机会去恶心他们憎恨的人时,所表现出的那一套。

Imagine that, of all the people you could be mad about in this world, and oh boy there’s a lot of people doing fucked up things on this poor Earth, you’re mad at the people selling books. And not books like the hate-filled rag that Mein Kampf is, no. Children books that simply acknowledge the fact that gay people are a thing and it’s okay, or books about how authoritarians try to (ironically) restrict the information you can get access to.
And not even selling them! The books are available for free.
更离谱的是,他们甚至都不是在卖书!这些书完全是免费提供的。

I know someones parents that hates libraries *because they are free*. They once lectured me for encouraging their son to go to the library, claiming the idea of libraries are "ridiculous" because you don't get to "own" the books you borrow. Unsurprisingly, their kids are borderline illiterate and one of them is their 20s now.

They definitely are alive and kicking - plus whatever hateful rhetoric they taught their children has been unleashed back in to the world en masse after one of them had been given center stage in the US.
So probably a lot of white people at home, saying “I don’t think the people should go out and scream at the girl, but if ‘they’ stayed among their own people, none of this would have happened.”
Exactly. They all thought everyone should just stay separate "but equal" on their sides of town and ignore each other and that things were just fine that way
Kinda the same vibe as “I’m fine with gay people but why do they have to be all in your face.” When “in your face “ = holding hands or wearing a pride shirt.
Its almost like mlk wrote about this group in his letters from a birmingham jail: >First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
That teacher is a hero and taught a hell of a lot more people than just her students with her actions.
这位老师简直是英雄,她的所作所为教育的人可远不止她班上的那几个学生。

That photo of that sweet little girl, dressed so lovely, so brave, surrounded by US Marshall’s. How can you do that to a little kid, let alone another human being?
Another hero is [Robert Coles](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Coles_(psychiatrist)), a psychiatrist who volunteered to counsel her for the first year she went to school. He wrote a book about it and donated the proceeds to her foundation. Additionally, a relative of his provided Ruby Bridges with the clothing she wore to school that first year.
The generation that hated this girl is dominantly representative in US politics. Yet another reason your geriocracy sucks. (If someone suggests term limits as a solution I'll slap them. Your president is one of the oldest. Term limits don't fix this problem.)
There needs to be an age limit for public office. There’s one for the military, why not every govt employee.
公职人员应该设个年龄上限。军队都有这个规定,凭什么其他政府雇员就没有。

Exactly. Plus there is an age limit on the other side of the spectrum. Gotta be 35 to be president. So they acknowledge age matters, why not towards the other end as well?
She could only eat food she brought from home because people had threatened to poison her. My parents are about the same age as her, these atrocities are still living memory.
I remember reading in the book *Hidden Figures* how one of the black women had to take some classes at the local white school at one point. Everyone mulled it over and decided that it was OK this one particular time because NASA needed her to help beat the Commies and so forth so they granted her special dispensation. She had seen the school from the outside but never the inside and was shocked to find out on her first day that it was just as run down and decrepit inside as the black schools. Segregationists had fought for so long to keep two separate crumbling schools just to keep their white kids away from the black kids.
> The generation that hated this young girl is still alive and they vote A LOT. I assume they vehemently oppose "CRT being taught to first graders" too.
Those old bastards are going to be calling the shots because people let the donald into the whitehouse long enough to secure control of the supreme court. **Never vote republican at the federal level. Don't be a jackass like these people.**

Mine is close to the same age. She remembers when her school was integrated around the 2nd grade, and she remembers her teacher speaking to the class and telling them some black children were going to come to school with them and they must all be very nice to them because it would be hard coming to a new school and some people would *not* be nice. I don’t know the teacher but I’m thankful for the good she tried to do in the world.
my mums English so all she remembers is a town where everyone was white lol
我妈是英国人,所以她记忆里的小镇就是清一色的白人,哈哈。

The people in this picture are still alive, and the red-state outcry against "CRT in schools" is them trying to prevent their grandchildren from learning that this is them. This is not ancient history.
My grandparents were those people. They pulled my Dad out of 7th grade because of this. Grandfather was a knife carrying Klan member. When people argue about CRT being bullshit I tell them that fact and they get real quiet real quick. They’re too chickenshit to admit either they don’t actually know the content of CRT or they don’t want to admit they know why people don’t want it taught.
Same. My grandfather was a klansman. My dad was racist. I've been complacent and complicit. I won't be again. My daughter will never be any of those things. As I type this, I wonder why the fuck we're still having this conversation.
I’m glad you’ve seen the light. Try and get these people into the light there is no reason for them to act this way.
很高兴你能看清真相。试着把这些人也引向正途吧,他们根本没理由非得表现得这么讨人厌。

CRT? That hasn't been important in months! Now it's gays being groomers season again. They don't really have the capacity to keep so many boogeymen going at the same time. It's scary how quickly they pivot based on billionaire propaganda.

Or parents trying to keep their kids from learning what dear mammaw and pappaw did. Ruby Bridges is one year younger than my parents, which means most of my black friends have parents that experienced this. This stuff isn't ancient history. When not even CRT, but the subject of the Civil Rights era or further back to Jim Crow, slavery, the antebellum South and the slave trade they don't want to talk about it. Why? Because their parents or grandparents were the final hurdle to get over to HOPEFULLY put an end to it all.
This is the unfortunate truth. The narrative of "they'll die out" doesn't play out. Many might have left the communities of hate that they were born into, but those community still and will continue to exist.
And a bunch of “anti-CRT” laws would prohibit schools from mentioning this at all.
而且那一堆“反批判性种族理论(anti-CRT)”法律,根本就是想让学校对这些事连提都不准提。

You wouldn't want white kids feeling bad about what their grandparents did, right? You wouldn't want them going home and asking uncomfortable questions ar the dinner table, like what did their parents and grandparents do when integration came to their school, would you? We need to pass a law to make sure kids don't ask those uncomfortable questions. They can't ask them if they don't know ow about it. That's how conservatives handle an uncomfortable subject. Bury it.
These people are fucking savages. Imagine doing this to a six year old girl. Fucking assholes.

Look at their faces, look how happy they are, . I've seen simular happy faces today inspite of recent events, who likewise won't know they're on the wrong side of history, and so it repeats
> The banality of evil. Hanna Arendt coined the term "banality of evil" to refer to the faceless people who just do their regular 9-5 job as part of a larger system that does evil. Like the guy who filed the intake records for Dachau. The human suffering that the files represented was something that didn't concern him, his main care was to make sure they were organized correctly and that he got promoted in his job. FWIW, it has been debated whether people actually operate that way — divorced from the consequences of their work. Critics of the concept argue that such faceless drones understand their role in causing harm and are fine with it and that they pretend not to know as a strategy to avoid criticism.
I always liked Terry Pratchett's take on it from Small Gods, about the torturers working for the Inquisition in that novel: "There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.”
They believe history will prove them right in the end because, something something, Jesus, good Christians, the end is near, Heaven and Hell, and so on.
Will SOMEONE please make a documentary about where all these people are now and if they have any sense of shame?
拜托谁行行好,拍部纪录片吧,讲讲这些人现在都在干嘛,看看他们到底还有没有半点羞耻心?

I'll spoil it for you, they live all over the country and no, they don't have any shame. Even if they were to feel the slightest tingle of shame, they quickly did the mental gymnastics to excuse it to themselves (or anyone else, if they dared speak of it outside safe circles, which I very much doubt).
I wish they all had crawled back to the hateful and miserable hole they came from, but unfortunately, those people have no sense of shame. They’re very probably today’s Karens who call the police on black people for simply walking in a neighborhood, and they are the most entitled people you can meet.
They wear MAGA hats and are excited to be bringing back the good ol days.

My god, look at how happy they look about harassing a literal child. So pleased with themselves and their abuse and racism. It's pictures like these that make me doubt whether humanity is actually inherently good.
Good and evil are words that were both invented by humans to describe things we like and dislike about our own nature. We're not inherently one or the other but somewhere in between.
My mum was born in 1969 England and used to get “there ain’t no black in the Union Jack” and “if you’re white you’re alright, if you’re brown stick around, if you’re black stay back”, on a daily basis at school. Crazy to me because she’s not even 60 yet, and those disgusting people went on to have children and spread their hate. It really wasn’t long ago at all. ETA: to all you racist fucks, remember, it was your government that invited us over here in the first place when your economy was failing mmmkay. 👍🏾
I cannot fathom the ignorance and lack of humanity in this picture. This is one of the most powerful depictions of how deep into evil this race will sink. The Human Race.
Remember everyone! These are our grandparents! And they also raised our parents. Times will change as our generations grow. The past will be abolished before we know it
And these people definitely have kids only in their 60s and maybe 50s today and you know the instilled that same hate into them as best they could. To pretend like racism is a thing of the past you have to be wilfully ignorant.
This is like teaching the existence of Nazism to kids. It’s unpleasant to break the innocence of children who would naturally believe the world is fine and people are good, but unfortunately, that’d only make them more vulnerable in the eventuality it would happen again. Informing them about how horrible things can get is still to this day the best way to prevent them from happening again.
These people—the ones still alive—today are MAGA Republican scum.
这些人——我是指那些还活着的——如今全都是些“让美国再次伟大”(MAGA)的共和党人渣。
