Because there weren& #39;t enough stories about "anxious" white folks. https://twitter.com/notcapnamerica/status/1264392356180172801">https://twitter.com/notcapnam...

FYI: This is from 2018. I should& #39;ve checked the date. Thanks @DonnerKay (who, btw, knows how to write stories about rural white folks with empathy without inviting readers to sympathize with or ignore racism).

Here& #39;s a twist on the "rural/southern white" story you don& #39;t see often. @DonnerKay actually went out to find white southerners who had *changed* their views on race: https://www.theguardian.com/global/2018/oct/08/the-white-southerners-who-changed-their-views-on-racism">https://www.theguardian.com/global/20...

And her story specifically about white *women* who changed their views (there are a million stories about, "Why white women still support Trump," but not enough like this): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/11/the-white-women-who-flipped-the-price-of-changing-your-conservative-views">https://www.theguardian.com/world/201...

Lastly, one of the most poignant pieces you& #39;ll read. It& #39;s a beautifully written, personal one about her mother, but it& #39;s also about growing up as a white girl & woman in rural Neshoba County (where the Mississippi Burning murders happened): https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/dec/20/despite-my-mamas-secret-shame-she-was-the-smartest-person-i-knew">https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandst...
