"We need a moratorium on immigration from 'third-world countries" - this, this right here, is a keystone, a pillar of white nationalist rhetoric. And his saying this, his wanting to undo 60 years of immigration "despite decades of data" is par for the course. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

South Africa went straight from apartheid to a Truth and Reconciliation commission. I don't know if America is even ready for the "truth" part of that.

Random thought: what percentage of drill/trap rappers have PTSD? To go through some of the childhoods some of these rappers have had? I don't think MCs have ever been studied as a group, especially not categorized by hip-hop genre #Blacksky #psych
