Good luck with that, Dear Reader. Better not mess with the entitled and superior “people of color.” Stick with racialy shamed whitey to be safe.

Leave us the hell ALONE!!

Of course, this new committee will need stenographers, videographers, office staff, mailing costs, office space, a press secretary and a few dozen other toadies. Shouldn’t cost us more than $4 million, ya think?

Hurry up, November. Before it’s too late.
