Ruth Fowler – The Problem With Hugs
Link to an article by Ruth Fowler:
This reminded me of a story on a local Fox affiliate TV news show in which they said that residents were trying to rebuild from the Ferguson protests, and I immediately thought they were going to show white people painting over graffiti. The broadcasters proceeded to show what appeared to be a single family of white people painting over graffiti. It perfectly symbolized papering over legitimate complaints with a self-serving plea to just return things to “normal” conditions of inequality and injustice that favor the white people painting over the graffiti.
