@mekkaokereke Being mad at the past rather than informed by it is very ridiculous. But people like their myths about perfect people fighting for perfect justice, which we get sold by those who want to maintain power because it would be far more radical to understand that real change (for better and worse) is made by flawed, imperfect people (and that not all change is real change, particularly if it's actually really about preserving hegemonic power....in these situations categories can become very flexible, tokenism is a strategy to preserve power by presenting the illusion of change).
