@dave @recursive @mekkaokereke For real. If I only had school to go by I would have thought racism was done and dusted, but as a kid I accidentally stumbled upon a show called Any Day Now on the Lifetime network of all places, and I learned SO much from it. Looking back on it I’m kind of stunned they were allowed to go as deep and raw as they did, and its theme was *exactly* that racism hides better today but is nowhere near resolved. Each episode takes place in both the 90s and 60s, explicitly drawing parallels across the decades.
