an astonishing stat

“Only 41 percent of black voters who are overwhelmingly Democrat believe that Trump voters are racist, which is less than Democrats as a whole.”

That's crazy, especially that final clause. But apparently true.

So it's mostly self-hating liberal Whitey who insists on the distorted, PC worldview. This is the same Whitey who insists on being a white knight (pun very much intended) toward all brown and browner people. No racism in that attitude, I guess, right? Whitey as white savior?

ADDENDUM: and while we're on the subject of stats:

Monica Lewinsky's autograph sells for twice the price of Bill Clinton's.

I was amazed the New Yorker published this.

The pandering to people of color is what really amazes me. Anyone who deviates from the party line is belittled and marginalized. How dare they stray off the plantation like that? I think that percentage you cite indicates that these folks are tired of the implication that they can't or shouldn't think for themselves.

Imagine the amount of "white privilege" required to think you know what's best for people of other races. Geez, I think there's a word for that.

I've heard tell that cheap women are always the most expensive . . .
