Yes, I for one developed unrealistic expectations of the Democratic Party on race with Obama’s election. I tried to keep up with Cornell West and TaNaheisi Coates to see a different perspective, but it was easy to get caught up in the illusion of progress.

Not necessarily. Kanye is a racist. 

I would vote for just about anyone to get rid of Trump. Maybe not Hitler. Definitely Nixon. 

Damn you’re a good writer. I was not familiar with Margaret Garner, but now I will be thinking about her throughout this election. Wow.

I’m from ND. You’d think she would appeal to me, but she emphatically does NOT. She is my least favorite

And I love watching kids mibds explode when they find out that the story of the flood was written thousands of years before the bible.

If only that Toby would have said his name he could have avoided that whipping. 

And looking fine while doing it. 

Unless I'm mistaken I believe Mr. Wade also plays the game of the ball and basket. 

someone hold Kevin Hart down and force him to watch this

I teach a unit on it every year. It’s my favorite work of literature.

Same here. I'm just having a moment of hopelessness. Tell Humbaba I said hi.
