We saw something yesetrday that I never thought that I would see outside of a developing country. The very seat of American Democracy was attacked by a group of pseudo-patriots. As tempting as it is to lay all of the blame for yesterday at the feet of Donald J. Trump, certain GOP Congressmen and Senators, and members of Trump’s inner circle, yesterday did not start yesterday. The seeds of yesterday’s violence were sewn in 2008. In 2021, if the nation is going to truly move forward, the only path to reconcilliation will be through accountability and acknowledgement of the deep racism, structural, individual, and systematic, that exists in this country.
