I actually think it's ridiculous he feels the need to resign over that. Was it a slightly tone deaf comment in 2021? Yes, but losing your job worthy?

In the interview, Harrison defended Kirkconnell against what he called the “woke police” on social media. “We all need to have a little grace, a little understanding, a little compassion,” he said in the interview.Last edited by Slap Shot; 02-15-2021, 04:19 PM.

That's what we've moved past. We no longer are looking to Martha Graham and, well, Joe Biden to tell us what racism is and whether it's significant.

The NYT Sunday Supplement reader who decries Jim Crow but goes to the fainting couch over reparations and still has some doubts "about those BLM people."Last edited by Slap Shot; 02-16-2021, 04:35 AM.
