Canadian-American journalist Sam Forster spent two weeks pretending to be Black to attempt a racial experiment no one asked for. But he is not the first white journalist to try this, and to end up reinforcing stereotypes and failing to address systemic .

@TheConversationUS @blackmastodon ..." a group of people that perceives itself as marginalized, at risk and not in control.” That group of people got him elected the first time, and included Blacks. This Trump is a politician and will lose much of his prior support base. Only Republicans now. There is also no real choice of opposition. Biden never should have been elected. The US is overwhelmed with political savvy. Nobody really cares.
