Oh they love their Robert Byrd mythology. Here's a man who so profoundly renounced his earlier years, saying over and over "I was wrong, and I can never stop apologizing," who raised thousands for an MLK memorial, who worked so closely with the NAACP that they gave him a 100% grade, who became an ardent civil rights advocate, and somewhere in those later years, posed for a fucking picture with Hillz. But they love their utterly false version in which somehow Hillary is buddies with a KKK leader---even though, right in front of their eyes, the orange demagogue IS buddies with the KKK, as well as neoNazis, white supremacists, racists, bigots, and misogynists. It's such wickedness.

Only failures and losers, with absolutely nothing else to value in themselves, choose--rather than bettering themselves, or educating themselves, or getting a useful set of skills, or just not hanging around with Hell's Angels and tattoo artists--to value ONLY their skin color. And here, of all places, a country that flourishes and grows by our diversity. I'm pretty sure they all use iPhones, invented by the son of a Muslim immigrant, and Google, invented by a Russian-born immigrant American, or YouTube, invented by a Chinese-born American and a German-born Bangladeshi. They are pathetic, ignorant, limited weaklings, who can't face their own self-induced failures.
