and no, the clueless designer is not the one who designed Billy Porter's tuxedo gown. It was designed by Christian Siriano, who's the designers' mentor on the show.

He is pretty much a narcissist. I love Jeffrey and his designs. I'm glad they let Delvin go after he talked such trash about Nancy. Yes, I love this show!!!

I felt the same way when I learned who she was -- but she is a Democrat. Voted Dem in 2016 and will again in 2020. She gets involved in Planned Parenthood also.

watch this starting at about 1:30....

The Legal Status of the Southern Negro in 1955
[ ... ]
Economic coercion played an important role in dissuading blacks from voting or exercising other rights purportedly guaranteed by the Constitution. Also influential was the willingness and ability of whites to resort to violence in defense of the old order. Between 1955 and 1959, 210 incidents of racial violence were recorded in the eleven states of the Old Confederacy. This catalogue of terror included six murders, twenty-nine assaults with firearms, forty-four beatings, and sixty bombings. To put the matter more concretely it involved a raid by more than a hundred sheeted men into the black section of Maplesville, Alabama, that left six Negroes injured . . . the castration of a Negro handyman in Birmingham, Alabama, as part of a Klan ceremony . . . the flogging of a white school teacher in Camden, South Carolina, because he had allegedly made a favorable reference to desegregation . . . the shotgun displayed by a robed Klansman as a motorcade of some one hundred cars drove through a Negro residential section in Summerville, Georgia . . . the dynamiting of a white physician's home in Gaffney, South Carolina, because the physician's wife had written an article favoring racial justice . . . the Negro woman who withdrew her suit against a North Carolina school board after receiving threats that her children would never return if they attended the white school . . . [and] the flogging of a white sawmill worker in Stanton, Alabama, because he was accused of 'associating too freely with Negroes.'
