Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of August 16, 2020
• The DNC produced a helluva convention. Historic words were spoken. My fear is that they were preaching to the choir.
• Future generations will be so PC that no one will be defined or even described by their race, color, orientation, or gender. We’ll soon be in a time when people are defined and described by their medications.
• The hard truth is that we all have a little bit of racist blood in us. Listen closely to what your family says and how they say it. Then ask them to justify it. Then it’s up to you to do the exact opposite.
• If Mayor Lori Lightfoot keeps it up, Chicagoans will quickly revert to electing white male Irish mayors from the Southside. Because it’s easier to swallow that a white male Irish mayor from the Southside would choose to prohibit protestors from gathering in a public space than it is a black female lesbian from the Westside.
• There is rarely a situation I won’t put myself in. You get a better experience at the zoo by being in the cage.
• To be strong, you first have to know your weakness.
