The Amos n Andy versions of The Simpsons characters Patty and Selmayou might know them as Sunken Place landlords Diamond and Silkare apparently finally convinced that racism is real.
Now, I know what youre thinking: Damn, the Black Lives Matter movement is going so hard it even got through to Auntie Ruckus and discount Candace Owens. (Its up to you to figure out who is who. Im actually not sure which one of them is Diamond and which is Silk; I just know they were both once girls made of sugar and spice and probably Mammy dolls.) But, nopeit turns out their sudden revelation that racism is an actual thing that exists came to them after they were fired by Fox News.
Earlier this year, Lynette Diamond Hardaway and Rochelle Silk Richardson lost their jobs as vloggers for Fox News streaming service Fox Nation, which launched in 2018.

and give to BLM and to the families and children in cages on the border. Then, maybe then, they might be accepted back into polite society. Otherwise, stay out in the soon to be hinterlands, exiled with the other trump zombies. Time to cash out is all they are worried about.
