It comes up in Google image searches if you look for racism in the US during the 30's, and also if you look for internment of Japanese Americans during WWII.
I did a reverse image search and it is on many sites, I am just wandering where it was, I would have guessed the date to have been after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
There are so many things like this in the not so distant past that we need to look at and remind ourselves how far we have come.
Hmm. I have to disagree. Not with the need to look at, but with how far we have come. I see a return to the worse and history repeating itself one more time. Generations in denial of what once was, and not wanting to take the lessons along to prevent it from happening again. This will be my take on this picture. Have a lovely day.
Tire fires usually flare up and get bigger after a simmering down right before they finish burning themselves out. I think we are seeing the societal equal of that analogy.
