Note this isn’t remotely the first time NB has had difficulty figuring out that maybe, just maybe they don’t have a good handle on what it is like to be black, or trans, or some other marginalized group.
Stuff like suggesting that telling racists that they are being like racists is going to get Donald Trump re-elected and maybe we shouldn’t do things like that. Somebody who doesn’t see the point of a Black History Month in the US. That the propensity to call people racist is a serious problem and counterproductive. Who didn’t see much racism at all in the treatment of Meaghan Markle.
NB has plenty of good posts and is not at all a detriment to the board but we all have our blind spots. Just how pervasive racism actually is in the US (and the UK!) happens to be one for NB.
