Well, you’re missing out on a lot of good folks and beauty, but the NAACP also issued a travel warning for Black Americans to avoid Missouri altogether, so you’ll be in good company. Those of us who are inside fighting will do what we can without you. Have a good evening.

In Congress any Dem is better than any Repub, regardless of who it is. That's because every Dem adds one to the headcount used to determine which party controls the House or Senate.

In 2016 STL elected a young black man, Bruce Franks, as State Representative, but the bastards really ended up getting him down. These freedom fighters in St. Louis are like Atlas trying to hold the weight of the world on their backs.

I am so here for this. It's like smelling someone make popcorn, if the popcorn was justice flavored.

No, but it's easy. No thinking required. Just believe and do as you're told. Preferably while shouting "Freedom!"

People like that make life tougher for the rest of us too. I guess it's partly the educational system in our country, but seem people seem to be born unable to think or see shades of gray.
