And some of these are the same people who are reporting on other things of importance in this country and outside of it. I need you to understand, Prestige and Education do not in any way negate the possibility of racism. How'd you get this far into journalism at the New York Times and you don't know about Jim Crow. And if you don't know about Jim Crow, how can you ever report anything of value involving race or politics in which race is an evident factor?

Sherman Potts! Ex-Janitor turned into Shrimpo’s handler!
@flygutzz had an idea that shrimpo’s handler was this sweet old man who used to be the janitor that shrimpo just followed around bc he always had a bucket of water with him. Eventually, every handler for shrimpo couldn’t handle his anger so they just promoted sherman, the sweet old man, to be shrimpo’s handler.
Shrimpo still comtinues his hateful tirades, but is relatively mellow when he’s with sherman! He usually has no comment about him, which is progress! (:
wait....this is...peak?.....<33333
