Butterfield acknowledges he has European as well as African ancestry, and that he identifies as African American. He has noted that he grew up on the "black side" of town and led civil rights marches
Ah yes, he grew up on the black side of town.
Sounds like “white guilt” with a splash of “white privilege” thrown in to me. After all, he was a “judge”.
Next up: Butterfield will declare that his own Aunt Bea told the story a thousand times about how Aunt Bea’s father (Butterfield’s grandfather, whom Butterfield referred to as his own “pappaw”) had flared nostrils “like all of the Africans do”?
