I am finally back to this history after reading 'Hoax' Which covers Fox v Trump. I recommend both. Wilkerson's book is deep, it reminds me of James Baldwin's work. Race is a myth but caste is a reality. Read it. I want also to post this link in a comment I made yesterday.
"Caste is insidious and therefore powerful because it is not hatred, it is not necessarily personal. It is the worn grooves of comforting routines and unthinking expectations, patterns of a social order that have been in place for so long that it looks like the natural order of things."
'Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents' Isabel Wilkerson

"Slavery was not merely an unfortunate thing that happened to black people. It was an American innovation, an American institution created by and for the benefit of the elites of the dominant caste and enforced by poorer members of the dominant caste who tied their lot to the caste system rather than to their consciences."

So, if Trump is considered to have been a failure, WTH, does midcan call what is currently taking place?
I can't believe American citizens are actually applauding the demise of this country and, the people who are killing it.
