Sometimes Reader Emails Are So Fun

TPM (non?) Reader JJR checks in …

Josh, the fact that you are implying that some votes are better than others is disgusting - beyond cynical, actually quite racist, classist, oligarchist, shameless… I could go on, but why ask for pears from a peach tree?
It’s with complete dissapointment that I type this missive, though I should have known… to be completely honest with myself, in a way I did, there was a certain je ne sais quoi that transpired through some of your brief pieces, that I was unable to circumlocate.

You should ponder why academia and those with higher education and women join the “mongrels” to defeat the rest of the country, whatever you choose to call them… but I’m sure you already know why, and the sooner we stop measuring differences by the changes in tone of skin colour, since nobody’s skin is either truly black or white, not the darkest African nor the lightest albino, the faster the mixing will occur and forgiveness for the lynchings will hopefully follow, and maybe we will all be able to say to each other, “what’s up ni—er?”
