Perhaps you should read this:

And no. My country (US) is fucked up and grotesque and horrifying, and people being athletic on tv doesn't change that.

I'm Australian and when I was in high school, I got to meet the Australian athlete involved in that protest, Peter Norman. He was a very quiet and humble guy who remained involved in athletics for the rest of his life. Some years after his death I read about the statue: it shows the two African American athletes doing their salute, and Peter Norman asked to have no statue of himself so that other people could stand with them in his place. That was pretty amazing.

I remember reading about him, yes. Seems like a very cool person.

And now Peter Norman has his own statue too. Is a shame it took so long after his death, but he really deserved it after all the ostracism.

This. We've become both absolutely horrifyingly awful and a complete and total joke. I feel no country pride whatsoever. Maybe we can turn things around. But right now there is nothing to feel pride about.

Leftist self-hatred is exhausting. Fine, flagellate yourself all you like, but don't talk about "us" as a whole. You're insulting all the good people working for change in this country.
