Quotes

• Black Lives Matter was a piece of genus called declarative marketing. I don't know if you've ever heard of it via products in the 1970's called "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific" or "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" was the name of the product. So the name of the product is called Black Lives Matter. How can you disagree with that?

• There is a jewish strategy. The great part of the jewish strategy is that most of it is pretty much open source. If you want to push your children really, really hard to survive and if you want to tell them "You've got a dragon breathing fire down the back of your neck because you've always been oppressed and you never know when you have to leave very quickly on short notice", you can duplicate the jewish experience. Good luck!
