    This is good but it makes me sad that Kevin has to patiently explain what should be obvious to everyone.https://twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/831624569383419904 …

        History is so whitewashed. I was born & raised in New Orleans in a maj black community and didn't know all these details. Shameful

        Doesn't even touch the implication that "conservative" is presently used as a slur comparable to the n-word.

        Should also mention that a lot of the policies DeVos pushes stem from racist white reactions to school desegregation.

        From personal experience, there are people who really believe disrespect to powerful people is a form of bigotry.

        @AndyRichter gonna try to give benefit of the doubt for the young, at least. The naive, not the ignorant.
