and kyle sucks , now and 4 evah !
That’s an ugly and thoughtless statesman. Although it does serve as an example of the kind of bias and privilege this project hopes to confront and disarm. Hopefully you can make it out to the site sometime soon and treat it as an opportunity to interrogate some of the assumptions embedded in your needlessly negative comment.
