This needs to be upvoted, and I really wish I could read more about this. All the nasty things WASPs did back then, pouring acid in pools when kids where swimming in it, cementing over public pools and making new ones in âmembers onlyâ country clubs, and so on.
Except I then feel as if I were rubbernecking, like Iâm being nosey, slightly ashamed as I realise a part of me is wanting to see more about someone elseâs misfortune.

There are plenty of books on the topic of mass resistance.

For one⌠itâs important to understand that the civil rights movement did not roll out smoothly and with massive support from white Americans. it was often fought tooth and nail across the country. Understanding that isnât rubbernecking. Itâs educating yourself a bit better about Americaâs history.

Oh, I understand that it isnât rubbernecking, but I thought it worthwhile to express the sort of thoughts everyone has, as I think everyone has this sort of secret shame that really doesnât have to be. And yet itâs good, it saves me from feeling superior.
And thanks for the book tip.
