Lean on Them


"Lean on Me" by Bill Withers?

How unifying!

Especially when those proposing it get asked to explain why such a special honor should go to a domestic abuser of women of color! (Don't let "alleged" throw you. Per JET, the victim, who went to the hospital, contemporaneously told the media she didn't deny it happened, she just didn't want to talk about it, and the mandate demanded of all non-Deplorables is to #BelieveWomen.)
