Yay for small-d democracy in the US! This is good for many reasons, but for example: As the average skin color of our leaders gets closer to the global average, the obsession with skin color ("black" vs. "white" people) will wither away. Soon, people won't worry about skin color any more than they do about the size of someone's nose. Selecting someone by skin color is a racist thing to do because the "race" myth is the only reason to do that. However, selecting people as *the best person for the job* and allowing other kinds of diversity to happen naturally will weaken the "race" memes. That's a big part of ending racism!

For everybody in the US celebrating Democrat victories, don't forget to shun the BLM-flavor racism some Democrats support.

US Representative Rashida Tlaib is calling for racist reparations, which is the Racist Reparations meme of Neoracism Memeplex in my book How to End Racism. It'll never work, but she knows that. Tlaib is probably taking $$$ from Russian agents to spread such racist hatred in govt.

I vote Democrat, because the GOP is working to undermine democracy itself, but I am concerned that if Dems get enough power they will try to put racism back into the federal government.

Here's something important to remember about yesterday's Dem victories: Trump is a truly awful person and wrong about almost everything, but he was right to get racism out of the federal government.

If you're a US citizen, and you haven't voted already, get out there today and VOTE!

I vote Democrat, yet I also fear that more racism will come from Democrat victories. That's why I publish How to End Racism now (on Amazon).

My book, How to End Racism, is out in paperback and Kindle. Hard cover in a few weeks. This will happen more frequently now, as it just did: someone starts on my book and thinks I'm wrong because they think racism is a GOOD idea, not a bad one. These are well-intentioned people, but fooled by the racism propaganda machine.

How to End Racism will be out in a few weeks, and I need your help: Should I do an Audible version of the book?

Creating the Kindle format for How to End Racism took a week of complex technical work, even with help from Claude. It's nearly done, though!

My upcoming book How to End Racism starts with these foundations: The "race" myth is very popular, but it has no basis in physical reality. Racism depends on the "race" myth. All kinds of racism are bad for people and for society, whether it's practiced by Donald Trump or by AOC.

I finally read that NY Times article by Nicole Hannah-Jones. This piece is an admission of an important parenting mistake, but mostly it's a repetitive fantasy of racist persecution. That's no surprise, since fomenting racism is Hannah-Jones' source of income. She loves racism because it's her bread and butter. The result is a worse parenting mistake: She has taught her child to celebrate racism, too. I can't think of anything more damaging. Her child now grows up seeing the world as "they" vs. "us" along the imaginary and arbitrary lines of "race." Nobody but professional racists will enjoy working with her professionally. My upcoming book How to End Racism deals with this problem in general but Hannah-Jones piece is too late to make it into the book.

There are many books out that that claim to want to reduce racism in the US, but most of them want to achieve that goal with... MORE racism. Except they call it "social justice" or something. How to End Racism shows how to end racism universally, with a focus on the US.

How to End Racism is waiting on an index, but that's not here only way to find your way around my book (in hard copy format): there's a simple table of contents, but also many cross-references to specific pages for the important concepts. Much about my book is very original.

How to End Racism (coming out in October, next month) addresses all sorts of problems that plague our society.

Writing a non-fiction book is very complex. Writing a highly original, structured non-fiction book is an order of magnitude more complex. Oh, and on a highly contentious and important topic. There's another order of magnitude. How To End Racism launches in a month!

Democracy in the US needs to heal. My upcoming How to End Racism is an important part of that.

I disagree with most of what Trump does, but he is correct to get racism out of government, government contractors, and schools. How to End Racism shows why this is so important to treat people, all people, with more respect.
