Bigotry declined? I don’t think so at all - not sure where you are living. From the post about the Indians and their cast system the other day on HN, to the lack of opportunity for those who illegally crossed borders and left their families to come ti the US who experience hatred and racism each day - telling me about it all the time. To us for some reason reporting in the news how important it is to not hate on gays and transgender (which is obviously wrong) but seeing nothing as loud in the news about the racism about blacks…racism is very alive and strong especially in the US. Religion and the white Christians that have ruled for so long and are now so fearful of the tides changing are pulling out ever last stop to maintain power. Not sure how so many are blind to this, but dig into history and the light shines bright.
- maxerickson 4y agoPretty sure things are better now than they were in 2000. Like you talk about a bunch of things that are in the news that weren't in the news in 2000 because bigotry kept them from even being an issue to discuss. That they are now openly an issue of contention is progress!
- KBeyo 4y agoElected leaders in Italy, Hungry, the USA, and many more don’t seem to be headed towards progress on bigotry…and the “news” has changed in the last two decades. It’s all about getting clicks now for ad dollars. The independent reporting that once was has changed. You think the race riots in Chicago in the 60s weren’t in the news? I’d actually say I don’t read very often about bigotry in the news except for Kanye west getting cancelled for talking about Jews. Where else do you see mainstream articles that dive deep into this issue? Bring it to the forefront again today and you might see a lot of angry people come out of the woodwork to take the chance to standup for themselves.
