They can bite me. On my lily-white backside.

Try chronic insomnia from a combo of dialysis and the medications required to manage kidney failure. There’s no dealing with that outside of Zolpidem, which isn’t a solution either. Six years of that made it hard to come off it, and I was awake for nine straight days before I started sleeping without drugs, and even now I have a hard time.

Covid sneaked around and looked for persons of color to infect disproportionately.

Why wouldn’t Daylight Savings Time use its secret powers to hurt them more?

Farmers in a survey once said the extra hour of sunlight dried out their crops. Funny.

A genuine complaint was dairy cows were upset by the time change each year.

Well you can make it up- and the criminal liberal media does exactly that every day.

Does the sun rise and set at different times for different colors of people?

Eye roll. I’m surprised it took only one writer at CNN to come up with this fantasy.

It seems getting a good, deep sleep is just like burning a cross on a black family’s lawn.

I can only pledge to rectify this inadvertent injustice as best I can by fighting for racial equality in my long, luxurious dreams.

I’m just a white guy who tries to get to sleep before 10PM every night. Switching back from Daylight Savings Time doesn’t have too much of an impact on me. I do like the fact that it’s a little lighter in the morning when I get up at 5am in the winter time.

Now sleep is racist. Wow, maybe they should just run an article telling us what isn’t racist. It would be a very very short article.

There was an organization that gave out free CPAP machines. It was used equipment, so recipients were taking their chances. They had to suspend activities during COVID>

Hmm....no chance CNN would put that detail into the story.

Such BS. I get 4.5 to 6 hours sleep daily. My puppy wakes at daybreak. I'm 66, white and employed full time. Disproportionate my ass.

There’s a simple solution: only change the time for white people. Leave all other races on a standard time.

Hogwash! The time change doesn’t affect one race of people differently from others. Some people have a harder time adjusting than others but that is the way it has always been. The older I get, the more it seems to affect me. I’m glad I’m retired now because I’d never make it to work on time. I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep and find I’m sleeping my best at about the time I used to have to be at the office.
