We are in Mortal Danger right?

Have the Lessons of Racism Truly Been Learned? Have the Lessons of Racism Truly Been Learned? Reading a book my husband brought me a while ago, knowing my fascination with Black history, has brought me back to reflecting on how things have evolved—or regressed—since I started writing about racism in **2014**. Apologies for my long hiatus from writing; there has been so much to say, yet at times, I have struggled to find the right words to express it all. A Shift in Attitudes on Race Over the last few months, I’ve noticed a*change in people’s stance on race. It’s a disheartening shift. Political parties, companies, and even everyday individuals seem far less concerned about the stigma of racism. The word itself seems to be losing its power to horrify, and more people feel emboldened to openly justify their discriminatory beliefs and actions. I...

One Foot Into the 1950s—The Danger of Nostalgia-Driven Politics

In recent years, the phrase "Make [insert country] Great Again" has become a rallying cry for politicians worldwide, invoking a longing for a romanticized past.

One Foot Into 1950—How Close We Are to Repeating History

  Imagine waking up in a world eerily reminiscent of the 1950s. Progress stalls, civil liberties erode, and social justice takes a backseat to fear and division. It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. If we continue on our current trajectory, we risk stepping fully into a regressive era that undermines the hard-won gains of the past 70 years. Dangerously Close Recent political trends highlight how close we are to repeating the mistakes of the past: Erosion of Civil Rights: Rollbacks on voting rights, reproductive rights, and LGBTQ+ protections signal a regression toward exclusion and control. Resurgence of Nationalism: Calls to close borders and vilify outsiders echo the isolationist policies of mid-century politics. Censorship in Education: Book bans and restrictions on teaching history’s uncomfortable truths evoke the fear-driven curriculum of the past. Why Progress Feels Fragile Progress requires vigilance. The 1950s were a time when power dynamics heavily favored the privileg...
