    to be explicit, it was a racist dogwhistle. It was like someone didn’t just assassinate him, it was as though it was “oh yeah , another bullshit “Um AKSHUALLY” ? All right fucking shut the hell up”

      I appreciate this, it seems like no one is making this explicit.

      His last words were exactly who he was as a person. No one should ever forget.
