Mulatto World
We don't live in a black and white world. We live in beautiful mixed shades of browns, bronzes
grays, chocolates, and caramels. We live in a multicolored wonderful world where anyone with a nuanced sense of fairness appreciates that broad ideological proclamations don't fit real life in all cases and facts should inform and challenge broad ideological brush strokes.
Take for instance that woman who testified before Pelosi after being denied the opportunity to speak before the Republican run congressional panel. She is thirty years old. Does anyone who chastises her know if she has been in a relationship with her boyfriend/partner for ten years or more? Does anyone know if they are college or high school sweethearts who are waiting until she graduates until they get married? Does anyone know whether he is perhaps Jewish or another religion? Does anyone know what the reasons are why they may not yet be married?
Has anyone even bothered to ask?
Would this change the moral tone of your insult?
