I was talking to a friend last night about Lovecraft and why the book and the first episode worked so much for me.
It’s that race was an original American invention, a superstition by which white Americans willfully hallucinated monsters that weren’t there.

Like a frightening campfire story used to indoctrinate little kids into obedience, race was folklore told to white Americans, to get them to see enslaved Africans as animals.
That lycanthropic nature of how people were (and are) warned about black men.

To some, it was odd that Lovecraft pointed at Massachusetts.
But, that’s not the same state that sparked mass lynchings and burnings and torture of women because they thought a black woman, Tituba, was a witch?

Very interested to see how Misha and gang handle the fact that Montrose’s prized possession is a book by Alexandre Dumas.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget how Darren Wilson described Mike Brown.
I think there are co-realities here.

Here’s another.
The term Caucasian to mean whiteness is not derived from the origin of a group of people.
It came from an anthropologist who was studying skulls, and one of his favorite in his collection, came from the Caucasus.
