"You know the phrase that actually attracted me to him more than anything else didn't have anything to do with foreign policy-it was actually ?the soft bigotry of low expectations,'" she said, referring...
...suggest to him, however, that evil has no race. These “white oppressors,” as he calls them, were as evil as their black counterparts who committed atrocities on their victims.
