    Man, that “economic anxiety” gets worse all the time. 🙄 P.S. note the signature, then tell me this country - a large swath of it, at any rate - has not completely lost its ever-lovin’ mind.pic.twitter.com/0CzYjLEOXz

        That time when a white person defines for you precisely what type of black person you are. I'm sorry.

        I wish we could believe he is a troll but we have seen too many with his ignorant beliefs.

        This makes me so sad. I was a more optimistic person before social media. Things I read in comments on Facebook—trash like your letter from a “PASTOR”—made me sleepless for months during the election. I am sad because no one deserves this kind of gratuitous filth. I’m so sorry.

        Good grief. Just out of curiosity, did you get this type of hate mail 10 or even 20 years ago? Or is this a more recent development? I have been reading your columns for years. Thank you for all you do to raise the level of discourse.

        As a former journo, I consider the rise of conservative talk shows the cause of accusations that we were "too liberal" and lying. Did racist attacks increase (around 2005) as well? Social media/email definitely contributed as well.

        I'm so sorry. I suppose if there's any good to be found in this, it's that you don't have to live in his head. I can't imagine living like that.

        From a “Pastor” nonetheless. I don’t care if he’s king. He’s trash.

        They can’t handle the truth or seriousness of the situation. I’m sorry you have to put up with such hatred and ignorance.
