ChudTheBuilder is not inevitable or permanent
Despite how it seems
A racist streamer known as ChudTheBuilder developed an online following by walking around Nashville, shouting racial slurs at people and flashing a gun. His intent was to get away with murdering a Black person, as you can see from his own social media.
Last Wednesday at 1:15 in the afternoon, this racist shot a Black man outside of a courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee.
When we talk about this kind of racist violence, we speak as though it’s an inevitable or permanent part of American life. This is a mistake, not only because it allows the worst of us to dictate our future, but also because history implies otherwise.
