It’s gauche to be mentioning Emmett Till on a porn board

In my original comment I had typed up a couple of paragraphs about that and deleted them for that reason, but... Yeah. You could also point to more recent examples like thr Duke Lacrosse incident or the Central Park 5. Or how the FBI tried to spread rumors about MLK to discredit him.

Or even broader things beyond race. Trump characterizing immigrants as rapists in order to drum up support for a border wall. Far-right German political parties making up stories about gangs of refugees raping German women to push their own political agendas. The UK is using "protecting women" as a justification to push out AI facial recognition cameras in public spaces. And yet no one gives a shit about Epstein and his associates, or dismantling the Catholic Church.

Or from the other angle, racists just love to portray their enemies as violent in all ways. We are seeing this used against black people in modern America, but you could point to early portrayals of native Americans, or the antisemitic concept of blood libel, or how Israeli politicians are characterizing all Palestinians as terrorists.

Human history is full of so much hatred and suffering. It's exhausting sometimes.
