I despise racism and I hate hearing about it but when we have some POTUS says immigrants are racist and says that a judge of Latin decent can't rule on his case because he'll be bias, and says people if a certain religion should be denied entry to America, those messages need to be met with opposition and people must see the result of such poor "leadership" , girls winning a NASA competition and being deminished by others simply because of their race and winning the competition by an organization that used to hide women of color, and their accomplishments in their ranks, from the public. Sucks all around.
When I lived overseas there was none of this constant divisiveness and hate in all aspects of society and it's been like this constantly since 9/11, which is what made me move overseas the first time for 5 years. Sad

I read something earlier about two black men found dismembered and stabbed. Headline could have said that two men were found ... Why did their color need to be in the headlines? Do they think black people won't read it unless it's about black people? I don't generally see "white woman raped" or "white woman's body found" in headlines. Yet lately color is mentioned if the article is about a black person.
The color of these women is mentioned as if black women aren't usually smart enough to do something this important. Or, was the angle to grab the attention of black people? Is color more important than gender? Depends whom they're trying to read it first. Black women or women of color? Which is more shocking, women vs men or black vs white?
Their tactics to grab readers isn't thought of lightly.
