Forever thinking about Alabama AG (and eventually governor) Bill Baxley who, when threatened by the KKK for pursuing justice for the 4 girls killed in a KKK Black church bombing back in 1968 (Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins and Cynthia Wesley, say their names), responded with the most legendary retort you could ever put on government letterhead paper:
KISS MY ASS.

BAXLEY Attorney General Dear “Dr.” Fields: My response to your letter of February 19, 1976, is — kiss my ass. Sincerely, (signature) BILL BAXLEY Attorney General

  @ErickaSimone ❤️ Also a great historical document to produce when right-wingers pretend “States Rights” is about anything other than killing black people.
