No, I don't. I was a big AM radio listener during the 80's and was saddened when Owen Span retired to make way for this buffoon from Sacramento with his "Gorbasms" and "Feminiazi" updates.

I don't know if I understand racial privilege in this country. I don't particularly think I've benefited from it and I know immigrants from Africa who are just as succesful as anyone else.

If I were to guess, I'd say class is a bigger issue than race in this country. This society is more class-conscious than England. and that's saying a bit. Just look at people's teeth...

But I don't think I'm your enemy in this fight.
