Today's offering from A.Word.A.Day with Anu Garg:
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The mind of a bigot
to the pupil of the eye; the more light you pour on it, the more it contracts.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., poet, novelist, essayist, and physician (29 Aug
1809-1894)
I was hoping to observe that the Republican candidate for Florida governor who told voters not to "monkey this up" by choosing his Democratic Party opponent could be an example of post-racism, where insulting an African-American with the monkey association wasn't at the back of his mind. That it was unintentional. Then I read the full comment.
Nope. Alive and kicking racism. Trump-fed.
And the bone-deep fears of Florida voters will be served up hot and steaming.
