"Doing OK," I said. "Considering the circumstances."
But here's what I wanted to say: Today, I'm sickened to the marrow by this country'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' role as a white supremacist propaganda channel, often overt, sometimes 2/4

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.
