Someone thought it would be great to send young black women from Utah to one of the most racist parts of the US, Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. They were followed and harassed by the locals.

Why? Because they were encouraged to. By their community, by their governor, by the tin god they want back as president.

Because they have been told they are right to do so by dozens of voices on their radio and TV screens.

But it isn’t just them. Sure, that part of the country is full of skinheads and retired LAPD goons. They are certainly an outlier. But they aren’t alone. It would really be nice if we finally started trying to fix that particular problem.
