I for one am relieved when some shitbird outs him (or her) self in public view, preferably before I have embarrassed myself in public by, say, getting a deathly hallows tattoo on my neck or learning all of Ted Nugent’s back catalog (although Queen of the Forest seriously rocks.)
So I say, let’s put a salt shaker in front of every public figure and let god sort ‘em out!
Dunno if any of my relatives from the 9th great-grandfather on up ever had cotton, especially given the weather in Massachusetts back in the day, but I'm really hoping they picked their own damn crops. And I agree with Mr. Ballinger... the more these "people" out themselves, the more relieved I am that I can write off another bunch of ill-educated, boorish, conspiracy-minded individuals. I'd be happy if they all rotted in their own bigotry, but I'll settle for not having to hear from them in the future.
Gotta love the fact that not only was he triggered by the videos, but by a poll from the useless, usually wrong, right-leaning Rasmussen that asked the stupid-ass, not-at-all racist question, 'Do you agree or disagree with this statement: “It’s OK to be white.”'

'The report found that 72% of the respondents agreed, including 53% who are Black. Some 26% of Black respondents disagreed, and 21% said they are "not sure." The poll also found that 79% of all the respondents agreed with the statement "Black people can be racist too."' https://www.npr.org/2023/02/26/1159580425/newspapers-have-dropped-the-dilbert-comic-strip-after-a-racist-rant-by-its-creat
