Correction: 60 years ago today
This is why we see black Disney princesses today as an atonement and better
representation. This and other, similar events happened in my lifetime, within
my memories, which is why I have no problem with more black representation
today, and mocking and laughing at them is a slap in the face to many who also
remember these events and, at the time, feared for their lives.
On June 21, 1964, James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman were
tortured and murdered by the KKK with help from the deputy sheriff near
Philadelphia in Neshoba County, Miss. They were killed defending the right to
learn and human rights for all. The three young men had traveled to Neshoba
County to investigate the burning of Mt. Zion Methodist Church, which had been a
site of a CORE Freedom School.
While their case received national attention (thanks to grassroots organizers),
there were more people murdered while seeking basic democratic and human
rights.

Your government, and establishment as a whole, imagine you're a beacon of hope,
democracy and freedom for the rest of us. No.

No government is perfect but we have made strides, however there are elements
here today who are trying to turn back the clock. They say they want to make
America great again but what they really want is to make it cruel again, only
benefitting themselves or those of their race, religion, and sexual orientation;
freedom for them but not for others.

Quasi it's bad here in Australia or worse, in different words. I recently had
a conversation about a new political talking point: "Reconciliation and
forgiveness". Both words are in the Bible, but as I first heard it said by
Tony Abbot, I thought it an invitation to convert to Lucifer.
Sure enough, the Bible puts Christ at the centre of what's being reconciled
with, the current use of the term adds the fine print: "We don't have to
be reconciled to you, you have to be reconciled to us and what we have
done." It doesn't matter what high profile person says it, or the
community Gestapo network, that's what they mean by it.

Smoke and mirrors is what I mean in the post above.
Anything like this happening over there?
