10. I'm not getting any subtle message, other than what the evidence shows.

And I read the article in its entirety this morning. Apparently the evidence shows that white women, particularly in the south, could and can be just as racist as their male counterparts. Trust me. I've seen that first hand, thank you very much. That's not divide and conquer. That's simply the truth. Seeking truth in the past isn't in and of itself a tactic of divide and conquer. It's just seeking truth wherever it might lead. Sometimes to very uncomfortable places, but that's fine. It's the truth that matters. Personally, I like truth far more than reading more into something then is actually there.

You mean Trump's base? They do not even know themselves, so how can they be honest? McCamy Taylor Feb 2019 #9
They know full well. They absolutely LUXURIATE in their hatred. BamaRefugee Feb 2019 #11
