that’s incredibly self aware for the day.

It really was a lesson! Bear in mind, I grew up on shows like All in the Family and The Jefferson’s, featuring bigots as the main characters, and they were always shown to be assholes in every episode. So ham-fisted it’s hard to watch now. :) I grew up on WOKE shows like the Electric Company and Sesame Street. The 70s and forward were, “Be a racist, better keep a fucking lid on it.”
My parents lived in Selma, AL when King marched through. They had “mammies” to raise their girls. Strange times I missed.
