Way back in 2019, I presented to maybe 200 social studies teachers in Baltimore County for professional development. Most of them were White.

I showed them articles of how the @BaltimoreSun repeatedly use "Negro Invasion" to justify white supremacist violence & segregation.

I could sense the discomfort radiating from many of them. But I kept going. I talked about how the white supremacist propaganda from the newspaper was linked to mob violence and racial segregation.

At the end, I said: "You've got to teach the children this history."

I continued: "Using primary sources such as these, you can help our youth understand why they are seeing the language we're hearing today (regarding Central American immigrants/refugees). You can help them understand how propaganda leads to violence & racist policies."

I got a pretty nice applause at the end of my presentation that day. I know a lot of folks in the audience were mad and probably hated me. LOL. Oh well!

But even if they felt that, they couldn't argue with primary source evidence! I had revealed the M.O. of how racism works.

It is crazy because everything I said turned out to be not just true, but predictive!

The propaganda from Trump and outlets like Fox News kept increasing. Sure enough, it triggered racist policies, but after awhile, it triggered the Jim Crow Coup a week ago.
