Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson on Sunday didn’t decry President Trump’s Friday night retweet of an interview that attacked George Floyd’s character.
As a white, middle class person, am I allowed to call him an UT, or something along those lines, or is using this term on a black person itself racist? Asking for a “friend” (i.e. me). If I’m not allowed to use this term, what am I allowed to say about him?
‘[Carson] urged to “not make the solution be a Democrat solution or a Republican solution”.’
“Democrat solution” —definitely the language of bipartisanship. Hopefully Biden will respond: “We all need to work together for a brighter tomorrow—both noble Democrats and lying, disgusting Republicans.”
“The subtle and deadly change of heart that might occur in you would be involved with the realization that a civilization is not destroyed by wicked people; it is not necessary that people be wicked but only that they be spineless.” ― James Baldwin
“I believe you’re going to be hearing from the President this week on this topic in some detail. And I would ask you maybe to reserve judgment until after that time.”
