Forever thinking about Alabama AG (and eventually governor) Bill Baxley who, when threatened by the KKK for pursuing justice for the 4 girls killed in a KKK Black church bombing back in 1968 (Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins and Cynthia Wesley, say their names), responded with the most legendary retort you could ever put on government letterhead paper:

KISS MY ASS.

And now, the republican party is sucking up to the KKK and similar groups, and put them in positions of power.

Before it was on the sly. Now it's just blatant.

@crankylinuxuser @ErickaSimone as a 73 year-old woman who witnessed the civil rights movement as well as the so-called liberation of women the exposure of how much racism and misogyny there is in this country is truly disheartening. I thought we had made headway, especially with the young.

At least with quite a few of us are not happy with all of this crap. Doing what we can, too.

Im also just 43. Plenty of fight left.
