Little Brownshirts fits perfectly with her hate of her country, the country which never made her feel "proud," in spite of her husbands failure to stand respectfully during the National Anthem after he became president!
If I mattered any more than she does, in the larger scheme of things, I would similarly encourage the entire black community to abandon their collective silence at the criminal and moral bankruptcy running rampant in the communities of "her people," and encourage monitoring of the blatant and extensive criminal element that festers there.
