I see 3 groups in this picture.
- pro equity activists (front/center)
- anti equity reactionaries (front/left)
- 'centrists' (back/right)
Pro-equity is the only moderate position.

Have you all ever seen the Monsoon Motor Lodge acid attack?
Facebook says this image is fine by them when Nazis post it, of course.
My mother used to refer to Indian owned motels as "Paki palace", used to tell me not to run away with a black man like the neighbour who was in a biracial relationship did, and I distinctly remember a family friend yelling "run you N word run" when an African guy was running an Olympic race on TV.
So that was all really fun.
Had it easy then! ;)
I regularly think about how many of our sweet loving grandmothers were the ones we see in the pictures hurling slurs at the tops of their lungs. How many grandfathers strung up the rope for the lynch mob.
These things all "ended" less than a century ago.
HOT DONUT DEPARTMENT
For a second I thought they had their own police outpost.
Well my grandparents wouldn't have been allowed in that shop, given there was an embargo in the us against people like my grandparents until 1943, though its not at all why my grandfather hated America and Americans for most of his life.
Your point is well taken about not being allowed in the country, but I have a feeling that this may have been later than 1943 based on the non violent reactions of the racists and that this looks like a sit in. Sit-ins were a key part of the civil rights movement in the 50s and 60s but I don't know how prevelant they were before that.
Could be wrong. If someone knows for sure lmk
Clutch link. Thank you.
My grandfather started going on a anti-trump, anti-fascism rant and I saw him kind of pause to check if I was that trump cultist lol. It was very heartening
My other grandfather was a vocal racist, sexist, homophobe who died of covid because he believed Trump's lies. Rot in pieces
Trump literally killed off hundreds of thousands of bigots with his lies about covid. That was silver lining of his term
See this is the good part of the Trump administration, big media doesn't want to cover
I'd like to know more about this Hot Donut Department
