"Unfortunately, there’s not a good shorthand term for the psychology behind this kind of behavior. “Racism” doesn’t, I think, capture it. But there’s this deranged fascination with walking up to the line and dancing around there in hopes of getting called on it. Then you get to become indignant. Because, again, the contemporary right’s main view on race is that actual racism against non-white people is only a tiny problem compared with the vast social crisis that allegedly exists around people being vigilant against racism." - Matt Yglesias
I’m back living in Oakland, CA, after three years in the land of “Minnesota Nice.”
My political leanings are independently progressive. I like to call myself a "California Independent," more fiscally conservative than most California Dems, which across the nation would be a mainline Democrat.
Now that I'm back with the bubble of the Bay Area, my goal is to take a bite out of politics and much more.
This blogspot is a temporary blog for the soon to be launched permanent domain.
