    But they only want it for their little group

    If you have different colour skin, like the same sex, have a different religion (or none at all), then you’re evil and don’t deserve a damned thing

    They’re stupid and hateful and I’m not going to bother to dial back my contempt for them

      Never forget they’d’ve rather shut down the public pool than have their kids share it with black kids; the unions were all for class solidarity, so long as the black working class weren’t allowed membership.
