And one more.

If the Dem governor goes, let's have everyone go who ever did blackface 35 years ago.

It is generally thought of as offensive now. It was more marginal back then. Applying current values to previous generations is a terrible sort of preachy moral anachronism.

We played cowboys and injuns as a kid. We had toy guns. I don't condemn my parents for permitting it.

Just a thought.

George Washington and Tom Jefferson kept slaves.

As a young man, Abe Lincoln opposed abolition.

Harry Truman tried to join the KKK.

None of them turned out to be too bad as presidents.
