Compromise...I know it is verboten round these parts to speak of thee

35. Add a fourth

Not rolling back what my father, his generation, my grandparents, and great grandparents fought for - Black Americans being identified as full human beings and their voting rights and civil liberties and you've got me.

Leave us off the table - and they can go straight to hell. I will not be pushed out of my home or job because I have black skin and be made to sit at the back of the bus or clean Sarah Alaskastans home. She can clean her home god damned house and breast feed her own children.


And if you think those 'dog whistles' specifically targeting blacks were not heard in this election - then I don't know what to tell you.

Add - Turning America back to 1953 for Black Americans is off the table and I'm game.

I will not sit idly by after having been 'Othered' since 1979 and kiss the cheeks of the white conservative men who did that to me. I will not. No goal. Ain't happening.

And our history here is different than that of Latinos and European immigrants. It simply is. Rolling us into Latinos (the target of the vile immigration dog whistles the past few election cycles) is a smack in their face and ours.

Add that - and I can agree with everything you've written.
