You could teach AN ENTIRE COURSE just unpacking this little project. "Tip Your Mask" to prevent racial profiling...as offered up by black clergymen...and supported by the police...during a public health crisis that requires we mask so people don't die. wandtv.com/news/public-as…
The project and police response takes racial profiling not just as right and proper but *efficient* for the proper functioning of business. Then it transmutes that racism into civic duty. It's perfect racecraft. PERFECT.
All the moreso because the racecraft is internalized and promulgated by black community leaders! It's a perfect set-up. Not a single white person is made uncomfortable in the entire endeavor.
