A lot of people aren’t even hating “black causes” per se but the hateful group identity politics that they have been coaxed into and had pressed upon them by white lefties who are as white as polar bears. They didn’t have to be particularly odious, no more than the next fellow, until that happened.

Could it be that Sessions had a few rude words for THAT phenomenon. I hope he is mercilessly hard on it today. Please no more “BLMs” that would be hard put to do more to try to say that black lives don’t matter.

My grandfather (born around 1890) was the inventor and patent holder of some significant things such as synthesized rubber and the use of freon for air conditioning - he had his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from CIT and set up a string of chemical plants across Illinois, Ohio and PA with hundreds of employees and associates. He was extremely knowledgeable in many subjects including government and politics.

He was in the habit of making racist comments that were slightly embarrassing back then (in the 60’s and 70’s) but would make your hair curl if you heard them nowadays.

I’m not defending it but times were different, norms were different.

I’m so tired of people dredging up things from the past and using them to judge by today’s standards and sensitivities.

It’s irrelevant that someone owned slaves 250 years ago and it’s irrelevant that someone made a racist comment 30 years ago.
