Someone asked me just this morning, "How are you?"

"Doing OK," I said. "Considering the circumstances."

But here& #39;s what I wanted to say: Today, I& #39;m sickened to the marrow by this country& #39;s racism. I am furious 1/4
at the Republican Party for being its primary host body, and angry that the Democratic Party has its share of racists too. I am disgusted by Fox News& #39; role as a white supremacist propaganda channel, often overt, sometimes 2/4
covert. I& #39;m repulsed by any company that would advertise there. Most of all, I am repulsed by the ways that the bulk of Christianity in America has been a chaplaincy to white supremacy since the beginning, unable to see it or afraid to confront it for fear of losing 3/4
donor dollars. I am even suspicious of apologies and laments, because they become a way for white people to enhance their whiteness with moral nobility.

Do you really want to know?" 4/4
