And there was a weird undercurrent throughout the draw ceremony about whether or not there was any shady business going on—draw host Gary Lineker basically kept making, 'well, let's hope no one swapped the teams out' jokes, which was not such a subtle way of acknowledging that we were in the epicenter of the centrifugal corruption forces of both Russia and FIFA combined.
Though no other attack came close to the death toll at the UpStairs Lounge, the attacks collectively set off an undercurrent of fear among the L.G.B.T. community in the 1970s: that our bars, which have been the sites of our political liberation, the focal point of our community, and even our places of worship, have also been the visible targets of violence and hatred committed against us.

"Another way to view it is Christian self-interest, that if ISIS reconstitutes, then there will be another ISIS genocide against Christians, and maybe Arabs get killed, maybe Yazidis will get killed, but the subtle undercurrent is that maybe Christians will get killed," said Mr. Courtney, who was raised as an evangelical in Texas and has lived north of Baghdad for almost 13 years.

But where was his voice when Sarah Palin was milking the very undercurrent of violence he now attributes to the Donald Trump campaign, or when the media fomented hatred across the airwaves until even our own members of Congress believed the misinformation (Joe Wilson's shout of "you lie!" during Mr. Obama's speech to Congress), or when the Senate G.O.P. leader vowed to put party ahead of country to make President Obama a "one-term" president?
But as Americans watched President Trump's speech about the coronavirus pandemic from the White House on Wednesday night, with its flat delivery, its failure to acknowledge any government missteps, its lack of empathy for patients needing testing or medical care and its sour undercurrent of score-settling with Europe, it was hard not to imagine how the former prime minister — or Lincoln, or Kennedy, or F.D.R. — might have confronted such an emergency.
When a young black girl was thrown across a classroom by a muscle-bound resource officer in an incident at a South Carolina high school last year, there was outrage at the officer's actions -- but there was also an undercurrent of opinion that the young girl had brought it upon herself because she dared not comply with every demand of her teacher, as though she's the first teenager in history to have made that kind of decision.

Through her account of her father's journey to America, Grande emphasizes the prejudice and violence perpetrated against immigrants—from President Trump's policy that separated thousands of children from their parents to the derogatory term "illegal alien" that recently entered the sociopolitical landscape—highlighting the unfortunate reality that, in a nation claiming to be built on the ideals of "liberty" and "justice" for all, a deep undercurrent of xenophobia still plagues American society and needs to be addressed.
