Quote of the Day 6-17-2020

Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman.' Wouldn't they have to withdraw? New racism is no better than old racism.

Yes, and - if I can even say this "out loud" - All Lives Matter - if someone said "white lives matter" they'd be crucified.

I disagree.  If someone said that white lives matter, the general response--if any--would be, "Well, sure they do."  But if you say that black lives matter, you will make some folks a little uncomfortable.
I know that this has turned a bit political, but can we agree that it is all Papaw's fault for quoting Newt?  ;-)
