Juxtapositions

Posted by on January 12 at 16:56 PM

Candidate #54, a white woman named Charlotte Marie-Grace Carroll began her three minutes saying, “I don’t look like you”—waxing about her status as a Joe-Public outsider.

She went on to tell us her African name… a word I’m not going to try and spell here…

Her rhetoric was annoying, and I was overjoyed that the candidate who went afer her was actually a black woman. A union organizer named Verlene Jones.
