In 1997 philosopher Charles Mills coined the term "epistemology of ignorance" to describe how white supremacy situates white people so they cannot accurately perceive or understand the world in which they live. He called it "virtual reality" then. We just have new technology w which this happens

My son and his wife are first responders in NC. Fuck everyone who is making their jobs more difficult & putting their lives at risk even as they put them on the line to help in an emergency we all hope we'll never have to face ourselves. A pox on all of them & may they rot before they die.
