There is a new biopic about Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley:
How many PDs exist, and whatâs the average town managerâs salary? Asking for a friendâŚ
Iâve been all over the state of North Carolina, but I donât remember driving through a Cauca City, NCâŚ

This makes me think of the study of delivery room nurses, who treat newborns (literally, still wet from the womb) differently depending on whether theyâve been assigned âboyâ or âgirlâ.
If as early as preschool, experienced teachers are already keeping an eagle eye on you because at a subconscious level they think youâre more likely to âmisbehaveâ, your experience of education is going to go down a very different path.
And yet, like the delivery room nurses, these teachers would swear to you up and down a stack of Bibles that there âwasnât a racist bone in their bodyâ.
Anyone who says that inherently has racism embedded in their brains and hearts.
