It’s time to take a good look at who stormed the Capitol, if you’re happy with anything in politics, perhaps it’s time to thank a HBCU, and COVID-19 has claimed an icon of inclusive design.
But first, here’s your W.E.B Du Bois “The Souls of White Folks” week in review, in Haiku.
My word is to them
mere bitterness and my soul
pessimism. And
Yet as they preach and
strut, shout and threaten, crouching
as they clutch at rags
of facts and fancies
to hide their nakedness, they
go twisting, flying
by my tired eyes
and I see them, and I see
them, and I see them
and I see them, and
I see them again, ever
stripped-ugly, human.
I encourage you to unapologetically take good care of yourself this weekend.
