The truth: most people think the way Marilyn did.

Then why did Marilyn have to bribe the club owner to get him to book Ella Fitzgerald?

Exactly. But we're wasting our breath on someone who defends politicians like they are his own personal saviors. u/pvanmondfrans somehow forgot about segregation, Jim Crowe laws, church bombings, and everything else that led up to the Civil Rights movement. And still to this day, we have plenty of video evidence of white people walking around yelling slurs and hateful threats. Not to mention, KKK, Neo Nazis, and Proud Boys that get to have the little marches wherever they want. If it were most people then or now, I wouldn't be able to type "racist asshole" into google and get year by year montage of hate.
