reading about Barry’s speech to the Congressional Black Caucus dinner, where he told them to take off their slippers and put on their marching shoes, it reminded me of that long ago statement by Earl Butz. Do you guys remember that absolutely jaw-dropping “joke” he told, which caused him to resign as Ford’s Sect of Ag? I wondered whether had a white politician told a black audience to take off their slippers if it would have been considered racist?

Funniest line was Baldwin as Perry “there are only two people I listen to; Jesus Christ and Rachel Maddow”
googled it yesterday to explain to xsteen what had happened. it’s pretty appalling and imagine today he’d have been SHOT for saying such a thing.
