Read moreWhy Am I So Cynical About Mississippi? Consider Georgia.
Recently the Rev. Dickie and I devoted a little time to clowning Mississippi and its decision to remove the Confederate battle jack from its flag. It has since been suggested to me, privately, that I shouldn’t hassle people who are doing the right thing. Maybe. I mean, better 150 years late than never, right? But there are reasons to reserve

Let’s have a look at the current residents of South Dakota’s most famous mountain. The first was a rich white guy who owned more than 100 slaves, and wasn’t known as the best master, at that.

Brees doesn’t get it. And Malcolm Jenkins is a hero. First Drew Brees makes clear he has no idea what he’s talking about by pretending Colin Kaepernick’s protest had something to do with “the flag.” Then people landed on him – hard – most notably his teammate Malcolm Jenkins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljO-TXjk3-Y
