Much like they've tried co-opting her fellow Rochesterian Susan B. Anthony as a supposed opponent of reproductive freedom. Which was not a major issue in that time, mainly because most women then had little economic hope of ever having any, but not even Time Travelin' Suze-B ever said anything on the subject reliably attributable to her.
My son's imaginary friends were Boogy and Girl. Boogy was from outer space. I don't know why Girl didnt have a name, but she sure ate a lot of spaghetti. I had to set two places at the table for them every damn night for about 18 months.
Considering the number of problems in this country we can directly attribute to white people, maybe we should stop teaching any history that involves them. Divisive, you know.
"Racist right wingers like Frederick Douglass?" "Racist right wingers like Frederick Douglass?" "Racist right wingers like Frederick Douglass?" What color is the sky on the planet where you live?
No. Really. There is an anti- union organization that has the gall to use his name. I think it's the "Frederick Douglass Society"??? It is incredible, but true.
So weird. So if the person is Black but she doesn't like them, it does matter to her? If so, she's as racist as they come, no? And being so sure she "didn't do anything to her," that's the assumption that if I did anything to you, and you're upset, you're the one who has the problem, because you obviously don't understand that the "did anything" is hypothetical and at any rate is upsetting you because you obviously wanted to misinterpret my entirely ethical, noble stance on a thing. Egads--once you spot the privilege, it's everywhere and you can't unsee it. Unless you voted for Patricia, of course. It's amazing what they can will themselves not to see.

There is a fairly high likelihood that Bluto Blutarsky was based on George W Bush's college years, although the author has refused to confirm it.
That must be it.
strange, really.

When the movie came out in 1978, Senator Blutarsky was a really good joke. The reality isn't quite as amusing.

When you have the proverbial One Black Friend, you're the sort that judges people by the color of their skin.
Slowly I turned...

"Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is getting recognized more and more..."

One of many "funny but terrifying" moments.
Or "one of my best friends is Black!"
