The big reveal about the photograph: notice the traffic/road/street signs in the background as Biden holds hands with the KKK former "Exalted Cyclops." They say "No Turn On Red." And...

"ONE WAY."

And the arrow is pointing to "the right."

I can't make this shit up.

You folks are the smartest readers on Substack. As such, I am mildly distressed that you missed the grotesque irony given the articles content.

I have to admit guilt. Although I definitely meant to demean ,when I call a certain black man a shoeshine boy (Clarence Thomas); in doing so I probably demean other black men. It was not my right to do so. Nevertheless I cannot control my feeling that he has demeaned himself and is a groveling sycophantic and pathetic excuse for a man. But I should not have called him boy because that is insulting to all who might reference it from being undeservingly insulted by being called such. I was trying to insult Thomas and it was the worst possible insult I could think of to refer to him as a shoeshine boy. But your article tonight made me reflect exactly why it was the worst possible aspersion I could think of to call him and exactly how hideous it really would be for someone to hear themself referred to as a boy.

And the very reason every white person must read your writing is that no matter our own sensibilities, as whites,none of us have had your (or any black person in America) experience of being constantly insulted only because of complexion.

So thank you once again for opening my eyes.
