The Fifth Column

CHAPTER

The George Floyd Moment

The George Floyd moment actually started with like the most right wing figures from Trump and Limbaugh denouncing the cops, which hadn't happened before. It was a moment of consensus on what you could say then turned into basically a riotous urban race war. We have to have dinner parties in which this woman from Colorado comes over and yells at me while I'm trying to eat meatloaf and have to pay her for it. And so there's no way you can come up with a legacy of slavery. Why is there those mutually exclusive positions? The John Lennon one is a masterpiece. Absolutely brilliant.
