I have no particular feelings one way or the other about Dairy Queen, but the simple fact that corporate takes this seriously shows how far we have come.

I was alive when there was still "strange fruit" hanging off the trees in some places, but now they put you out of business when you call someone a racial slur. We're not going back to segregated lunch counters no matter how many Trumps huff and puff.

Trump and his brownshirts may slow down civilization, but it won't stop it. A step backwards, but two steps forward, even if we have to wait a little bit.
