"The far right opposes the idea that the United States has ever practiced systemic racism."

I see this as about the same as "The far right opposes the idea that the sun rises in the east."

Since when did verified reality (of centuries of history, in the case of systemic racism) become an "idea" or a "claim"? I see journalists doing this all too often, too. Thank you, Heather, for helping those of us in the "reality-based community" remain in this community -- and sane.

For being the world's richest and most powerful superpower, we sure panic easily, don't we? The "Yellow Peril" and the "Red Scare" and the "Pinkos" and the problems with Blacks and Browns and "Redskins" ...

Maybe we're just afraid of colors.
