gestures at America if he's been at it for 4 generations then what's all this?

For four generations we've been associating tolerance, respect and community with childish cartoon characters; something to be outgrown.

I got about as much tolerance left as Bugs Bunny.

He got 2 in 3 of us. The other 1/3rd I'd rather not talk about

1 in 3. A third decided to be bystanders in the fact of abject bigotry.
