He was no innovator or canny operator; he was an extremely lucky sociopath who discovered that white people really liked it when he was as racist as they wanted to be. It was a strength because his need for blanket validation freed him from the norms and conventions that bind most of us within the limits of self-respect. The reason, according to the Times, was humiliation. Normal people don't work that way, though. In this, I confess to have faith, too, in the American people.
He was no innovation or canny operator. He was an extremely lucky crying030vispating.
