Episode notes
Every genocidal movement will start with an identifiable victim. If I want to get a lynching going, what I will do is tell you about this poor white girl who was sexually assaulted by blacks. We empathize with victims so much that we lose all sense of proportion. Future crime doesn't really bother us at a gut level. We want to pay back people for doing these terrible things to those we care about and love.
