It is hard for me to think of anybody I haven't criticized. In the real world, everybody praises honesty to the skies but very, very few of them actually want to be exposed to it. The person who is successful today is the person who never really offends people. At the same time, he convinces them that he tells the brutal, unvarnished truth and they, because they are tough and realistic, are able to take it. That little balancing act requires a psychopath.
Real truth hurts.
Stokeley Carmichael did me a big favor. It is an unnatural word for the English language. Nowhere else in the English tongue was one required to pronounce two long, hard consonants that close together. It is especially unnatural for a Southerner to say that word. That is exactly why liberals loved to force Southerners to say it.
