Detailed bio at the linked page. This is today's Featured Article on Wikipedia which is somewhat surprising, given that this man is recorded as both a great progressive and vicious bigot. He once threatened to lynch every black in South Carolina if such were necessary to preserve the supremacy of the white race. It goes w/o saying that he was a Democrat.

Woodrow Wilson - Wikiquote: A History of the American People, Vol. 9 (1902)
Every country-side wished to have its own Ku Klux, founded in secrecy and mystery like the mother 'Den' at Pulaski, until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, an 'Invisible Empire of the South,' bound together in loose organization to protect the southern country from some of the ugliness hazards of a time of revolution. [p. 60]
It was plain to see that the trouble in the southern States arose out of the exclusion of the better whites from the electoral suffrage no less than from the admission of the most ignorant blacks. [p. 82]
Wilson, the first college president to occupy the White House, banned blacks from government restrooms, was the first president to openly attack the U.S. Constitution and eagerly support laws to prosecute and imprison those who disagreed with his policies. His hostility to black Americans was matched only by his antipathy toward Italian, German and Irish Americans and his desire to rid the nation of those he referred to dismissively as “hyphenated Americans” and against who he railed incessantly. [The foul fruits of Woodrow Wilson: Unrestrained government and hounding of critics are the legacies of his 'progressive' politics, The Washington Times, 10 April 2017]

Democrats are "people" who hear "As you know..." as a preface, and consider it a microaggression, since they DON'T know, and you shouldn't assume that they DO know...

For real...

I'm wondering:
Do 1000 microaggressions equal one milli-aggression?

Is "kill" a contraction for "kilo-aggression"?

Tillman Hall is the most famous building on the Clemson University campus. The 3 story brick building with a clock tower is located on a hill overlooking Bowman Field. Tillman Hall is currently the home of the College of Education.

Connected to Tillman Hall is the Tillman Auditorium, a 755-seat auditorium that formerly was a campus chapel named Memorial Chapel. Tillman Auditorium is used primarily for lectures and seminars, small concerts, pageants and dances.[1]

Tillman Hall at Clemson University and Tillman Hall at Winthrop University are both named after former South Carolina governor Benjamin Tillman. He played a large role in the founding of both universities.

Very surprising.

Perhaps Wikipedia can make this a daily feature.

“Todays odious Democrat”

A daily list of violent racist democrats could make this feature last for decades.
