I hope Tennessee is watching and listening because @brotherjones_ is speaking some truths. I know that Zachary and his ilk don’t want to open their minds, but I think most Tennesseans do.

These white men don’t acknowledge that racism exists, so they never see it in themselves.
This clip from 4 years ago demonstrates it perfectly — as then Rep. Micah Van Huss calls Justin Jones a “racist” because he mentioned race and racism in the context of legislation
