Let’s start with a reminder: President Harding, President Woodrow Wilson, President McKinley, President Calvin Coolidge & President Harry S. Truman-- Harry giving them hell in my lifetime, In my time— An ever so proximate reminder-- These were all Presidents of the U.S. of A. Also, KKK Members. Warren G. Harding, for Christ’s sake, Was actually sworn into the Ku Klux **** At a **** ceremony Astonishingly conducted, Inside the White House, Presided over by Wizard Imperial of the Day, The Honorable Colonel Simmons. And I may as well throw in Justice Hugo of the Supreme Court Hugo Black in white robes, While we’re on the subject of cultural memory, To wit: the one Branch where Fairness Is supposed to go with the territory. You want to talk about race? Hey, don’t get me started.

“Let’s Talk About Race”
Let’s start with a reminder: President Harding, President Woodrow Wilson, President McKinley, President Calvin Coolidge & President Harry S. Truman-- Harry giving them hell in my lifetime, In my time— An ever so proximate reminder-- These were all Presidents of the U.S. of A. Also, KKK Members. Warren G. Harding, for Christ’s sake, Was actually sworn into the Ku Klux **** At a **** ceremony Astonishingly conducted, Inside the White House, Presided over by Wizard Imperial of the Day, The Honorable Colonel Simmons. And I may as well throw in Justice Hugo of the Supreme Court Hugo Black in white robes, While we’re on the subject of cultural memory, To wit: the one Branch where Fairness Is supposed to go with the territory. You want to talk about race? Hey, don’t get me started.
