I'm going to get real irritated if folks start acting like no one should be calling out the good old USA for its racist shenanigans. Anyone with two eyes and half a brain can see that race relations are fucked up. Whether you consider it a downward spiral or just a glimpse behind the curtain to what has always been there is just a matter of semantics.
Right? My first thought was not "how dare you?" but "shit goes way back before sandy hook..."
Well, yes. I'm far from a "rah-rah American" and I don't think we're above being called out. Just don't be naive about it. Invoking Sandy Hook as a starting point of our "downward spiral" is actually not calling out racist shenanigans and misses the point.

There are reports out of Minneapolis of a drive by shooting that struck and killed a two year old and a three year old that were at a park. Details are just coming out via Twitter but it sounds bad.
If the point is that Americans are crazy, then you don't even need a distant starting point to pinpoint a downward spiral. You can start with yesterday and spiral until your Canadian ass gets dizzy. Lol. You can't get sicker than a country that was built by racism that remains devoted to maintaining the hallowed institution.
