And I wish it were its own OP. Thanks for the thorough links that I'm saving in case I need to whip out some handy facts if and when the Russia-African American narrative starts changing.

It's feeling like deja vu all over again, reminding me of Prop 8 back in '08 and the liberal blame that was heaped on African-Americans in California. I think that we were less than 6% of the population back then but studies were conducted to prove, I couldn't believe it, that if every single one of us voted for the proposition it would have still failed because of the tremendous white majority vote against it.

I'll never understand the immediate scapegoating. Well, I guess like Frantz Fanon said when blacks walk in reason walks out the door so how does one reason with the unreasonable? But yet another study

Goodness, Samantha Bee! I've haven't really watched her. She's sweeping and on-point with every single thing she said. Had me cry-laughing. What a release
