A black, beautiful billionaire? If only she were white
For those who read my political blogs and listen/watch Politics Done Right remember our discussions on meritocracy versus chosen. There is so much in SemDem's article that meat-"ifies" that reality.

It is always refreshing when the privileged, however rich or poor sees the bigger picture for that is how one breaks the indoctrination en masse. Every so often, I send direct messages to authors at DK. SemDem, you got mine.

She looks younger, I guess; testament to her cosmetic skills.
