featuring Ayaan Hirsi Alivia Boston Herald
Tuesday, August 29, 2017

What separates humans from other species, the late William F. Buckley Jr. admonished a sanctimonious college student in his office 40 years ago, “is the capacity to make distinctions.” With a White House as relentlessly repulsive as this one is and significant elements of American society willing to indulge conduct reminiscent of 1930’s fascists, it is perhaps a bad time to expect that people will make distinctions, and the capacity of some people to do so has eroded badly.

Lee, and thus a symbol and presumed supporter of racism, slavery and even White privilege, as strange as that may sound.
