Float with Confederate flag in Whatcom Old Settlers parade sparks concern

Sorry. You really believe racism is resurging? What evidence is there that it was ever gone? What evidence is there that it’s suddenly more of a problem now than it was 10 years ago?

Because Trump is a racist? Because the media says everyone is racist? Because it’s suddenly culturally legal and tolerated?

Again, parroting what mainstream media is saying. Racism is still a problem in every direction. To anyone who thinks it used to be gone and is suddenly back has their head under a rock or isn’t a person of color. Or to think that it’s suddenly more of a problem now is a very strange bizzaro belief that isn’t based on any more than blind outrage.
