Trump & the #GOP's attacks on objective truth & science aren't novel. Racism, which transcends political party, has been a symptom & cause of these affronts. Race itself was shaped by an illogic of racial superiority. #BIPOC have been dealing w/ conspiracy theories a long time
I hear pundits talk about how they fear an anti-fact/science future on the near horizon, supposedly created by a conspiracy ridden Trump & his anti-education legions. To them I say, welcome to BIPOC's reality. Present-day racial disparities show our deep anti-intellectual history
Anti-intellectualism and the illogic of racism fuel the attacks on the #1619Project and other efforts to teach American History instead of the fable-like narratives that have eroded authentic pursuits of truth.
