It's really getting depressing to see pundit after pundit fawn over Buttigieg or Bernie. I'm going to have to unfollow some people and find some Kamala fawners out there. Are there ANY??? Is the black woman really going to have to fight her fight alone? (of course she is 🙁)

@notcapnamerica That is really something. Karen lost her job. No one can fish from that spot anymore. This is why we say racism hurts everyone. Just like they closed the public pools and public schools during integration, white people would rather HURT THEMSELVES than be equal to a Black person.

@SteveKingIA "Mixing cultures" gave us the blues, country, bluegrass, R&B, jazz, hip hop, K-Pop, reggae, rock & roll, and innumerable other forms of music. On this data point alone, I'd say mixing cultures absolutely leads to a higher quality of life. Please try being less racist, Steve King.
