Black and White are social constructs. There is now such thing as pure blood. It is the great lie.

Lester and Linda MacLennan were the GOAT anchor team in Chicago back in the day.

When I had jury duty at the Daley Center a few years back, their greeting video was still hosted by Lester looking like this. It must've been at least 20 years old at the time.

Either way, his delivery is journalistic clickbait on crack. He has the skills to be great but he’s either owned or liberal cray

I’d assume this is an attempt to communicate something exactly different than you actually posted.

Like your composition skill, your premise is flawed.

I just ignored his response as my post had nothing to do with "social constructs" or "pure blood." Not a conversation worth having.

Tirico actually claims to be white.

Says all of his family is white.
