Now for the next trick ... How do we get people to ridicule the social construct of race, and the social hierarchy of racism, without focusing on individuals?

This is a systemic problem, and ridiculing individuals actually enforces and protects the silos rather than dismantling them.

I’ve been on this side of TikTok for a few days now. What an incredible experience. So much acceptance and so much love. ❤️ And oh my goodness, the healing! Thank you new cousins for beginning this TikTok trend. It feels as though it’s here to stay. I only wish my dad (and fellow ginger) were here to experience this! I just know he’s watching from the great beyond, with a sparkle in his eye, giving me a wink and saying “See? I told you it was the most magical trait of all.”

Oh my this is so overdue. I grew up in a very WASP part of Ontario. It was clear I could never really be a full member in the club.

Margaret Thatcher is rolling over in her grave! Maybe someone should stomp on her head and kill her a second time...?
