I am quite proud of the fact that Justin Pearson, one of the two legislators thrown out of the Tennessee legislature, apparently for the crime of being black, is a fellow alum of Bowdoin College, as is Deray McKesson, a well known Black Lives Matter activist.
Speaking of Black Lives Matter, I seem to recall that when it began, the right wing response was to quibble that “all lives matter”. Pearson and his fellow legislator were thrown out of the Tennessee house because, in addition to being black, they were joining in a demonstration the subtext of which was that all lives do matter and that they certainly matter more than a fictional constitutional right to own guns.
The legislators in Tennessee have merely demonstrated once again that as far as Republicans are concerned, No Lives Matter.
