So, in other news, something I am working on is avoiding “nutpicking” — finding the most bananas example of a certain group and extrapolating that that is the group itself. So I’d like to preface the following by saying that this is not general of the conservative movement.
But today the Journal of American Greatness (a publication that is attempting to put meat on the bones of Trumpism, so to speak) published this “poem,” by someone using a pseudonym. It is entitled “Cuck Elegy."
And the share image is of National Review’s David French. 
As David himself has detailed, he has received considerable racist invective, particularly over this very kind of language (a reminder that “cuck” refers to the idea of, and I will put this bluntly, white men letting black men have sex with their wives.) nationalreview.com/2016/10/donald…
Update: It’s “American Greatness,” the Journal of American Greatness and American Greatness both co-existed but weren’t the same thing (American Greatness published “The Flight 93 Election)
I am not calling for anything to get deleted, or anyone to get fired. I am putting this out there because my job is to cover conservatism and the Right — which are two separate things — and the conflict between the two is evident here.
