If Matt Gaetz Read Books, He'd Know the History of Racism In Transportation
So, we already know that Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is a Trump-thirst trapping, alleged child sex trafficking, I-need-my-rich-daddy-to-finance-my-failure-up-in-life-because-I-ain’t-shit fuckboi, and I was gonna write about that, but my boss told me we already know that Gaetz is a bird.

Dear Debate Moderators, There Are More 'Black Issues' Besides Crime and Poverty
I’m obsessed with race. After much self-reflection and receiving no less than 2,238,934 accusatory emails, tweets and DMs (not that I’m counting), I am willing to admit my personal preoccupation with racial issues.
