Derb calls it a six month anniversary, but how can there be a six month anniversary? (L. annus, anni, year.) Call me a pedant and a quibbler. So while I'm just being myself, I'll also point out that he uses the pleonastic 'true fact.' What, as opposed to a false fact?
Much more importantly, the man spoke the truth about race and has paid a price for so doing.
I seem to recall a rant of mine against the simultaneous crudification and wussification of American culture. Ugly words for ugly things. Derb in his Anniversary of a Defenestration laments "the pathetic pussification of the official right." Here is Part II.
