I’m personally too angry to blog right now. I simply cannot express the level of my disappointment with the Clinton campaign. I’d rather just leave you with the words of Robert Kennedy as he announced to a black audience that Martin Luther King Jr. had had his spine severed by a white sniper’s bullet.
“In this difficult time for the United Sates,” said Kennedy, “it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black … you can be filled with bitterness, with hatred and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization — black people amongst black, white people amongst white, filled with hatred toward one another.
“Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love.”
Taylor Marsh, who I used to like and respect, can put that in her pipe and smoke it.
