We're going to condemn and shame someone because they were caught in a photo at an event at 14 years old in 1957??????

Are we for real here? Are we Democrats or are we the type that see a photo and think we know everything about what is in a person's heart when they are 14, and how NONE of that can possibly change 65 years later?

Well, you got him. Racism is over now I guess. We have exposed Jerry Jones presence in Little Rock in 1957. I guess we can all sleep well tonight. Well maybe not tonight, but maybe after he's burned at the stake, then we can all sleep.

Unless someone wants to come forward with proof that Jones is really the racist some are saying he is, I suggest you all acknowledge that kids do stupid shit sometimes, and move on.
