Why Are All Racists and Sexists Reactionaries?
This is something I don’t really understand. Lots of Black people act bad. Before you say Whites do too, there’s way more bad Blacks actors than bad White actors, percentage-wise. Living in a poor all-White town was instructive, as was … Continue reading
