48. It is NOT an example of white privilege.
Mon May 31, 2021, 06:56 PM
May 2021

It is a cautionary tale wherein a new President is fixing grave problems as fast as he can. Have we EVER had a retired General up there on the podium advocating the overthrow of our government? I can't think of anyone. Have we ever recalled a general to active duty in order to prosecute him for insurrection?

I would have voted for Powell, in that day. As I recall, his wife didn't want him to run. So, he didn't.

Please, not every blessed thing is White Privilege. Just because you don't get what you want doesn't make something White Privilege. There are plenty of other examples of actual White Privilege, but not everything is. This is a problem of Free Speech versus the fricking Repubs power grab. I do note, however, that the insurrection was carried out by White People, while the smarter Black People stayed home and watched on TV. I WILL give you that.
