And so when you get these very affluent people, multiple houses, big salaries, and then they talk as if they're on the barricades and somebody's out to get them, it seems to work, at least with half the population.
It's destroying the country.
Nobody has any confidence in the law anymore.
They don't feel that justice will be dispensed equally.
Yeah, and I guess what's tragic about this, because I'm 72, I can remember in my teens at the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, its theme, what we all heard.
I remember my parents grew up from my farm, and I actually heard Martin Luther King speak at Grace Cathedral.
And the message originally was that any time you give exemptions to anybody other than on a meritocratic basis, it's wrong.
So there was the old boy white network.
And there was truth to that, that people who were African-American were not given a fair shot and a level – I heard that term all the time.
All we want is a level playing field.
And then 60 years later, these so-called victims and civil rights activists have morphed into exactly what their grandparents said was wrong.
And they are now saying that because even though I haven't suffered anything and I've actually gamed the system, somebody 60 years ago did and before, and therefore I'm going to do the same thing
that the old white boy network did.
I want exemption, exemption, I'm a victim and I don't have to go through the regular process of meritocratic evaluation or I don't have to have the same exposure to the law or the legal system because I'm a victim.
And you wonder when it's going to end.
And as I said earlier, economically we'll get to the point where
A person's gender or you doesn't really ascertain their class status anymore, at least in a lot of cases.
And there's a lot of people on the left, she doesn't think, that have some weird psychological squaring the circle where if they feel that a black person is conservative like Clarence Thomas or Winsome Sears, then they get a blank check to use a race car.
There was a cartoonist
that portrayed Winston Sears, and that was right out of something in 1860s in the South.
