Let's Just Believe Them

I’m something of a slow learner, but I know when I’ve been righteously schooled. Listen to this:

Even if we could get every white person in Tennessee to verbally acknowledge what was right in front of our faces, do we think that would change enough minds to get them to vote differently (or vote at all)?…In a way, all this effort to convince white people to just please start living by the values you espouse only serves to reinforce the idea that white people are so important that the state and the country ought to hold up all progress until we’re comfortable with it…It’s been 246 years. I think it’s safe to assume that we all know what sides we stand on. Either you’re committed to a government by the people, of the people, and for the people, or you’re not. And all these folks are telling us they’re not. Let’s just believe them rather than expecting they can be reasoned out of it.

“Let’s just believe them.” This is Betsy Phillips putting it country simple. Let’s just believe them. Good luck, everybody.
