I'd love to see Joy Reid read this on air

with protecting all minorities because one day that minority might be you. They have no retort.

People can be so shortsighted.

That's how to make it go viral.

If anything, it's even more appropriate now, though it was certainly appropriate in 1970, as well.

"I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities."

I've always thought a great deal of him. (At first, I thought this was going to be a revealing of something really negative about him).

Prescient, indeed.

between an American who embraces democracy and a president who hates it.

hate the vile MAGAcretin

I loved that dog in the comic strips & on tv. He's so cute & has such personality. I loved his Red Baron fantasies.

....she came across a letter from our Senator in 1966 congratulating my mother for becoming an American citizen.

It was from Robert F. Kennedy!

People always associate below ground with treasure - but they err.

So much of it is right in our attics, often unbeknownst to even ourselves.

At first I thought it was referencing the Starbucks Schultz.

One can be certain the letter is from Schulz personally. No professional secretary, in 1970, would have made that spelling error.

Then for Than. In some places, people write Your for You're.

If only...

Was to find out that Dr. Suess and Charles Schultz were pretty liberal. The Doctor was dead and Schultz was very old by the time I got to an age where politics mattered to me. For some reason I assumed that both were conservatives, but to my pleasant surprise they were not.

On a personal note, my maternal grandfather died just four days after that letter was written. He was a lot like Charles Schultz, physically and very likely in temperament as well.

He was an optometrist; but was said to have an untapped artistic side as well.

Thanks for sharing this, G J. Gives us a very nice glimpse into the great man's worldview, and I suppose a little into his personality as well. Always a gentleman.

What a find!

… it's been on Facebook & Twitter. Still, white supremacists say they are now the minority that needs protection. They don't see the nuance or context. They don't see the difference in a group shouting "Black Power!" and a group shouting "White Power!" They don't see how James Brown's, "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud!" hit song would not work with White inserted for Black.
