Systemic racism. What, like the minimum wage?

For a child, an immutable parent would constitute the ultimate nightmare. It is a living death.
The message of the internally related Trinity: don't absolutize the Absolute.
Logic is circular. But there are larger and smaller circles, not to mention a sphere.

To be the man you gotta beat The Man. Or god and God, in the case of the left.
