I'm a middle-aged white guy from Norway with many friends in the US. I need to get the perspective of black people to understand what I have never experienced myself. I have some black American friends I can talk to and if I have questions I can ask them.
One thing I have learned from a retired black teacher is that while segregation was still practiced. Black teachers got employment and this were people that could easily be engineers. They were overqualified so black children in many cases got a better education than those that started in mixed schools after segregation ended. Of course, that doesn't mean there should still be segregation. But just because segregation ended, racism never did. Unfair stereotypes, ignorance and hate affected the schooling those kids got. And probably still do.
So to stay on top of current news I started following you here. I believe I have shared every substack article after I started follwing you here.
The news compilation I want & need -- keep going, it's great
