And GREAT to see her be so powerful.

She's an important voice for us right now.

get angry in the same way?

I'm trying not to let my anger at this racist crap get the better of me. And yeah, I know you didn't mean it that way, but it is racist and beyond that it's stupid.

If I were you I'd change it.

I wasn't a fan of her show at first because to me it seemed a bit disorganized and she was always trying to find some intellectually stimulating tangent, nuance or twist that others had overlooked but didn't seem to get to the central point. Lately to me she seems anxious to get to the heart of an issue. To me, her show has improved but maybe I'm just getting used to her.

all those kinds of stereotypes are, and it's pissing me off that the op doesn't have the good manners to delete that crap.
