Man Xplissett what a piece. There are so many levels in what you wrote. I like the comparisons you do with the music. This is a pure example of white privilege. Killmeade has his privilege and can say what he wants. And no repercussions. No discipline. But the black woman is fired. That is powerful and just disturbing the differences. She was speaking truth but the other guy was speaking hate. Don who was fired eventually got cancelled so he sees and knows it firsthand. Why would anybody not point out that Charlie said Civil rights was a mistake? Those were his words. Nobody is making that up. And why would anybody black feel good about that or not point that out. We can condem what happened to Charlie the shooter was a monster and should be prosecuted but we can still point out that this man said Black women lacked the brains to do jobs. So now pointing that out is wrong??? I guess we’re supposed to call George Wallace a civil rights icon now. Just rich. She will land on her feet because she’s a great journalist. Just as Don has. X I’m hoping Don has you on his show one episode because you two need to connect. Thank you for this wonderful writing.
Oh my- I always read your comments on Letters From An American, and today I got to this POWERFUL piece of writing. Thank you! As a 66 year old native southern white woman, and mother of a half African American young man- race relations have been of great interest to me all my life. Thank you for your - I’m not even sure what to call it- I only know if there were someway to download this piece, and all your “receipts” into the hearts and minds of every American, what a better place and people we would all be!
I am so outraged by all of this. I stand here, not knowing what to say, we are rapidly heading towards....I don't know what to call it. These men are monsters.
"Karen Attiah says the Post fired her after a Bluesky thread (Sept. 10, 2025) in which she called out political violence, racial double standards, and America’s ritual apathy toward guns." ... while anything goes on FOX.

It'd be mere ones and zeroes to repeat what @Pasqual Allen comments above. A brilliant, pithy, cogent, searing take-down of a column.
