The other point I’d add is that Twitter isn’t a chronicle of events from the days of Martin Luther King Jr or even the Nixon or Reagan eras. It’s not as if sexism or racism were only recently deemed inappropriate (insert sad Trump commentary here). I’m not one to use the slang definition of “woke,” but any adult who wasn’t “woke” to this sort of stuff in the last decade is frankly going out of his or her way to stay asleep. I’ve said and written a lot of things I regret... some of it here in this group. But I don’t post anything on the internet unless I’m prepared to have it exist for the next millennium. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TVorNotTV" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/tvornottv/e83a21b0-b02e-42b4-bf71-63cfea7f703fo%40googlegroups.com > . > -- Kevin M.
