Oh brother! Not another listing of tokens that show that Lou and Co. are down with people who aren't white. The WWP should put out a board game or something. I'll bet a six pack that the WWP uses this "diversity" against other groups on the Left.

"The state can't give you free speech, and the state can't take it away. You're born with it, like your eyes, like your ears. Freedom is something you assume, then you wait for someone to try to take it away. The degree to which you resist is the degree to which you are free..." ---Utah Phillips
