8 February 2019 is the
anniversary of the Orangeburg Massacre of 1968, in which three people
protesting segregation were killed by police in South Carolina. The authorities
(maybe the governor himself) blamed the event on “outside agitators” contrary
to all the evidence. It’s a reminder of just how far we’ve come in half a
century—today you’d never read about an unarmed black man being killed by the
police. (It’s really nice living in this isolated little bubble and having the
luxury of not seeing color and all. Yeah, they’ll have to pry my white
privilege out of my cold dead hands.)
