Late-night blasts Trump for 'openly stoking a culture war'

1. "Black people and their owners kneeling in a field "

I probably didn't get the last quote exactly correct, but Samantha Bee and her writers nail it.

2. they did indeed.

3. Quote:

Then there’s the Trump supporter who told CNN they should be commending Trump for having “led us into a national conversation.”

“Hey, wow!” Bee exclaimed. “And what a conversation we’re having! Talking about black people and their owners and how they should be grateful for the privilege of working on a field. Who says Trump is taking us backwards!”

6. As if players who started it by kneeling were not ones who lead us into the "national conversation".

7. The GOP and right wing have a hard time with this

8. Love Samantha Bee's ending with a little Dixie

So mid 1960 sitting in a bar in a southern state. A bar that was within walking distances of the back gate of the military installation I was stationed at.

Sitting there sipping a cold beer enjoy the company and waiting my turn at the pool table.

The juke box is play some favorites including Patsy Cline's "Crazy" (still a favorite today).

Next song queues up and it sound slightly familiar but... just taking a sip on the beer. When I look up from the beer three or four "good old boys" were staring down at me with an obvious issue in mind.

So one fellow says "damn yankee" you GD better stand up when they play Dixie. Oh that's Dixie on the juke box.

I stood, we all sipped our beers and waited for Dixie to pass.

I still have the urge to stand when I hear the first few bars.

Thanks for the memory Sam!
