Never forget- you won't see the quiet dissenters from this on TV- the press only likes the outrageous, the noisy, the charismatic- people who fit neatly into a 5-second sound bite.
Most decent people I know- of any color- think this is garbage, but you will never hear their words on TV or see their faces.
