The thing is… RATM was always raging against the machine of trying to help people. Not that Dems are trying to be helpful. They want the status quo. But stupid fucking right-wingers can’t intuit what it means to say that, “Some of that workforces are the same that burn crosses.” They only hear, “Fuck you, I won’t do what you’re telling me.”
It’s like thinking Vader is the hero for throwing the emperor down the shaft. No, the Jedi was the hero. They’re basically illiterate.
Edit: Literacy has more to do with comprehension of a sentence than sounding out words, though we’re pretty terrible at teaching that.

You’re thinking of functional literacy. Literacy in itself just means being able to read.
