      There’s a big difference between getting a paper cut and being stabbed with a rusty sword. Neither one may be what you want, but telling people with a sword sticking out of their chest some platitude about “Yeah, but papercuts suck too” makes you sound like an absolute idiot.

      Clinton explicitly didn’t support segregation. One of the biggest influences in his life was his mom’s parents, who he spent a significant portion of his childhood living with. They owned a grocery store and faced frequent harassment and threats because they refused to segregate their business. There’s plenty to go after Big Willy for but this particular point is incorrect. You can’t even shoehorn in his VP like with Obama because Gore was an avid civil rights supporter as well.
