Think about it like this: If I were to walk up to some Republican MAGA minion right now and say, “Hey man, I just wanted to say that ‘in their relations with Negroes, white people discovered that they had rejected the very center of their own ethical professions,’” that person might think I’m just some Marxist, communist, anti-white, BLM-...
