I was driving home from a class I am taking last night and caught some radio host filling in for another radio host. It was a black woman, that much I could tell from her voice--I have no idea who she was, or even who she was filling in for. SHe spoke about how she took several busses as a teenager to get to out of the ghetto and into her job at a suburban McDonalds.
And all she thought those days was not, "Oh these evil rich people, look how they live, they took it from ME to live this way". All she thought was, "THIS is how I am going to live someday".
Such a simple message, yet the Republicans can't even tell it the way she did. Big difference between the way this lady tells it and the same ol' bread bag story.
It had me hooting and hollering in the car. YES---this resonates. This is the way to convey it.
That will haunt Joni in the years ahead.
There you go again with the same ol' bread bag story. I can hear it now.
