"This email is... something. Walter Schull Jr, a physical therapist in Texas..."

This email is... something. Walter Schull Jr, a physical therapist in Texas, would like me to know that he uses the n-word all the time but that doesn't make him a racist.

I'm sure the shit-storm is gonna' rain down on "good ole' Walt" in the next few days and I'm sure we'll see something about how this was all taken out of context and that some (well, at least one) of his best friends are nig... er, blacks who think he is such a great guy.

For those that still think "racism" is long gone and done away with, just take a few minutes to read Walt's rant again - and think, "He gets to vote - again............"

WTF does "bringing the country together" even mean any more? over what?

all that we can agree on at this point is that baby animals are cute.

Disagreeing with Walter is divisive. See?

Trump enables this kind of thinking. When a leader models behaviors, it gives people permission to embrace that behavior.

But we are seeing that economics can change behavior.

Every time I hear someone rail against polotical correctness I ask them what are they prevented from saying and who is preventing them from saying it.

Never get an answer.

OTOH, maybe the best course of action is to expose him as a racist SOB and watch his practice suffer.
