"Not as bad" was about the extrema, not the sum, so you're swinging at your
phantoms rather than my "fetish". The subscription info you cited was in
the context of an article that resoundingly condemned the racism of some
Abraham Lincoln quotes (and of David Duke for good measure). The info read
like merely a courtesy nod for citing the article. Nothing I saw quoted in
the new batch comes close to the bigotry of these earlier lines:
*
"limp wrist"
*
"bring back the closet"
*
"Order was only restored in L.A. when it came time for the blacks to
pick up their welfare checks"
