I love revisionist public-school American history.
I'd love to call out black pots, but I'm still wondering how groups of people go from being so lowly in a nation's eyes that they can be enslaved and/or slaughtered freely, but within a few years are granted special privileges, protectionism and can even be elected to the MF'ing presidency.
Just a thought.
I think we should start making convicted felons police chiefs as soon as they're free.
