    Republican Tells Prominent Black Woman ‘Shut Up’ While Defending Trump on White Supremacy https://t.co/Fva1fMFMZx pic.twitter.com/1Vhu3a86Ja

    … America was not built on kindness or the Christianity of Christ. It was not built on freedom or liberty. This nation was built on white supremacy. Its founders owned human beings that they worked to death and raped at will for sexual pleasure. The indigenous people were slaughtered and terrorized for land and profit. Not for years, or decades, but for centuries, this nation exploited and victimized every single person who was not a white man — denying them all the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — denying them all the right to vote, the right to safety, the right to dignity. …

    The man who drove his car into the crowd killing one person and injuring others is only 20 years old……20…..hard to know when his radicalization started…..and his mother…(did not hear from his dad.) did not have a clue to what her son was about….

    there is a woman name Chiquilla Holt who is running for commissioner in my town ship …she said …Future Leaders Begin at Home.” Parents, we need to examine what kind of leaders are we training through our words, actions, silence or inaction.

    this is so true…

      The administration felt too much pressure to denounce the white supremacists, so he was forced to say it.

    Remember back in 2008, when Sarah Palin used to talk about the “real America”? She meant rural and small-town residents — white residents, it went without saying — who supposedly embodied the nation’s true essence.

    She was harshly condemned for those remarks, and rightly so — and not just because the real, real America is a multiracial, multicultural land of great metropolitan areas as well as small towns. More fundamentally, what makes America America is that it is built around an idea: the idea that all men are created equal, and are entitled to basic human rights. Take away that idea and we’re just a giant version of a two-bit autocracy.

    /// 😦 (for posting 3.25 paragraphs)

    And when we fall short in our effort to live up to our ideals, as we all too often do, at least we realize and acknowledge our failure.

    But the man who began his political ascent by falsely questioning Barack Obama’s place of birth — a blood-and-soil argument if ever there was one — clearly cares nothing about the openness and inclusiveness that have always been essential parts of who we are as a nation.

        originally black folks were excluded from SS..

        the Social Security Act of 1935 might never have passed without support from the 141 Democrats from Southern states. And, the book strongly implies, many of those Democrats only supported the bill after it got tweaked in committee so that it excluded farm workers and maids — who represented two-thirds of black workers in the South at the time.

        As a result of the change, 65 percent of the African American workforce was excluded from the initial Social Security program (as well as 27 percent of white workers). Many of these workers were covered only later on, when Social Security was expanded in 1950 and then in 1954.

        The author disputes that there was any racial bias involved…..it just happened to work out that way….
