I’ve come around to liking his intellect and logic in the past month, as he frequently is on Fox News programs.

Previously, also on Fox News, I would see him spouting ridiculous crap when debating with Lee Elder and I would be screaming at my TV.

I hope that many others, like him, are also recognizing how the BLM and Antifa movements are anti-American.

”This is not 1960. This is not Bull Connor. This is not German Shepherds chasing black folks down the street and yet they play this game of using a word, a term, a phrase that does not apply in 2020." [systemic racism]

This man has spent his entire career working through the system for legal changes to benefit black people. I haven’t reviewed his work and don’t know whether I would agree with his lawsuits or not; but these young anarchists and looters are basically saying that his life’s work and that of other Civil Rights lawyers just doesn’t matter. Black lives matter; but not his.

"The Democratic Party in 2020 is as follows: it's been hijacked by Black Lives Matter and that's why I've shifted away from the Democratic Party. Two major reasons: One, Joe Biden made the assumption that if you're not black, that if you're black you have to vote Democrat. I find that insulting and offensive to every African American because we don't vote as one group," he told the Daily Caller. "Secondly, defunding the police is absolutely ridiculous. Democrats believe in law and order. Those are two major reasons I left the Democratic Party." According to the civil rights attorney, the Black Lives Matter movement lacks any substantive policies and their only goal is to defeat President Trump. It was Biden's comments about blacks needing to vote for the Democratic Party that made Terrell question his values.
