All the ugliness that is showing its lazy, vicious face these days is real. But it plays out against a reality that can be summed up in one sentence: we are living in a world where the President – the Commander in Chief, the single most powerful individual on the planet – is African American. If you’re ten or younger, he is the only president you’ve ever known, and his calm, confident, beautiful family is the only First Family you’ve ever experienced.
Many things are true of our world today, a lot of cruel and stupid and suicidal is being woven into our daily life, who knows what is going to come out of this batshit election, but this fact is one of the truest.
