How MAGA Created a Generation of Man-Children

Hello Friends!This was a tremendous conversation! I’ve been looking forward to getting Will and Zuri together and it was so great. The topic of white male grievance or white male fragility is an important one. I know that we barely scratched the surface of what Will and Zuri have had to endure, and I’m eager to hear more.In my personal journey as a human being, I’ve recognized I didn’t have many good role models growing up. I was surrounded by obnoxious man-children and it’s taken decades to remove their influence from my psyche. I think it’s really important to put forth an example of what a decent man actually looks like.We certainly don’t have one in the president at this moment, and it’s sad to think a whole generation of boys will grow up thinking that Republicans represent an acceptable model of how to behave.They don’t. Republicans are a bunch of pathetic, fragile, hostile, man-children and nobody loves them. Full stop.Will and I continue to sketch out how the toxic mind virus of white supremacy gets injected into young minds. We shared a lot of messages this week after this talk. I hope you all find the conversation as intellectually stimulating as I did. Zuri is always a treasure. I wish she was our president.Thank you Karen Elizabeth Park, P. J.
