And eff that. I don't believe I'm stating opinions either. It's a fact that the brain is still developing and that most of our new members don't have fully developed prefrontal cortexes--the part of the brain which is responsible for inhibition.

The KKG's comment was a really bad joke and in this climate she should have known better. I don't feel she was being blatantly racist but blatantly stupid.

Right. She made a comment which was funny to her and failed to consider the impact on others. She likely has very little, if any, actual knowledge about what that particular group has been responsible for over the years.

While we are calling out all things KKK let's not forget that there was a card carrying member who was an elected senator for many years and when he died was eulogized by several prominent politicians (one who was a former POTUS and one who ran for POTUS from his party). I will give you a heads up he and they weren't registered republicans. I hope some of you were as equally outraged by that as well as this comment.

You're talking about Robert Byrd--and so there's an individual who demonstrates the ability to grow and learn from your mistakes.
