      Sorry. That’s politically incorrect. The appropriate term for the modern age is “convicted prisoner”

          Funny you say that.

          I was in a nasty argument with my mom last night about her use of the racist slur “illegals”. I told her that people can’t be illegal. She replied that shes not a racist and that they’re illegal because they broke the law. I shot back, “oh, so, since you got that speeding ticket, that makes you an illegal?” “No! They committed a felony!” So I said, “oh, so Trump is a 34 times illegal then?”

          She said, “that’s different!”

          “Why? Because he’s white? See, that’s why you’re racist.”

          She screamed, “fuck you!” and hung up the phone.

              She texted me later, saying I was following a “Marxist script”. I texted back, “oh, yeah? What script did Marx write that said brown people were ‘illegal’, but white people weren’t? Was it in the letter to Lincoln praising him for freeing the slaves, or in Das Kapital? Because I must have missed it. Why don’t you send me a copy of where you read that.”

              She blocked me.
