Maybe it needs to get worse before it gets better? The collective sense of guilt for slavery permeating American society became evident with the protests, now it's being acted out with some white protesters literally kneeling before blacks and asking for forgiveness.
Quote:And, yes, Donald Trump has exposed the sewer to us all. It's about like the toddler is proud to have pooped. Eventually it is something to not discuss in accordance with social taboos. Trump seems not to understand some of the normal constraints of American life.
Trump might be a psychopath. Psychopaths usually don't care about social norms. I've known one, she had no qualms to urinate in public or to ask people she barely knew for "money for the babysitter", so that she could buy drugs or booze. Trump seems shrewd and not impulsive enough to ruin his businesses. Is he a high functioning psycho?
