Why quote just that, and not the one where I said:

I know, it doesn’t serve the “poor, persecuted Smapti” lie. Man, you can lick boots, but you can’t stand up in them, that’s for sure.

And just to remind everyone: Miller was _responding_ to you, _after_ you said:

That he was mistaken about the workers doesn’t mean he called you a racist first. Like I said:
