As for the “substance” of the matter at hand, there is none. This is just another example of the stoop-to-any-levelism of the current White House press operation. Just wait: It’s only a matter of time before Palmeri comes up with a story that lends credence — at least in the eyes of Spicer and his crew — to some White House talking point.

They cannot rape us and take ownership of our children, though our white supremacist nation, supported by an (in)justice system smeared with the blood of black bodies, is guilty of protecting and perpetuating all of the above genocidal acts. They resent that, deeply. And that white male resentment of free black women is embedded in the toxic fabric of this country. As I’ve written previously, black women know ...
