"My claim is not that every single person who voted for Donald Trump is a racist, a card-carrying white supremacist. I do hold, however, that as a result of his election we will inherit the whirlwind - the tumultuous process - of his dangerous neofascist sensibilities, his despicable sexism, his horrifying xenophobia, his ugly lies, retaliatory mentality and his support of white Christian nationalism."
"During times like these, I am reminded of the courageous speech of philosopher Cornel West, who attributes to St. Augustine the profound existential observation that we are born between urine and feces, that we are born out of and through the funk. Within the context of this funk, West urges us to think of the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, reminding us: His funk raised us and renewed us."
