Race

Progress is not linear and does not come without commitment and effort. We took an enormous step backwards the last four years. Your dude promised to protect suburban moms from the bogeyman. He told cops it was ok to rough up certain people. He wanted more immigrants from Norway and fewer from ****hole countries. He associated Mexicans with rapists. He said a judge couldn't give him a fair trial because he had Mexican ancestry. One of his first acts in office was an attempt to restrict travel by people belonging to a particular religion. And of course there was his starring role as a purveyor of the racist lie known as birtherism. All of this happened in our not-so-distant past.

Your greatest hits on repeat.

Well I guess all those new Hispanic and African America trump voters just had no clue what they are doing. People are waking up to the tactic of equating policy disagreements to racial strife. People are waking up to the soft bigotry of the left as if black people cant be concerned suburban mothers wanting to protect their children from inner city violence.

We get it. The country is seeing it and a tectonic shift on the voting electorates preferences is occurring right before our eyes. When the nonsense of the election steal is cleared up it will be even more clear how the country is rejecting your poison.

It's sad that this happened during the past four years. Part of your boy's legacy. Along with the lies and deza. And the events of January 6. And the ongoing effort to undermine public confidence in an election that he lost fair and square.

Weird that less minorities see it your way than they did prior to trump.
 
a Never-Before-Aired James Baldwin Interview From 1979

“White people go around, it seems to me, with a very carefully suppressed terror of Black people—a tremendous uneasiness,” Baldwin said. “They don’t know what the Black face hides. They’re sure it’s hiding something. What it’s hiding is American history. What it’s hiding is what white people know they have done, and what they like doing. White people know very well one thing; it’s the only thing they have to know. They know this; everything else, they’ll say, is a lie. They know they would not like to be Black here. They know that, and they’re telling me lies. They’re telling me and my children nothing but lies.”
 
White people walking around with a carefully suppressed terror of black people?
"Oh Trevor, look it's black people."
"It's okay Penelope, just don't let them see how scared you are."

White people know what they have done?
Maybe I'm slow, but I reckon I don't know.
 
The goal was of course to create further racial divides, more unrest, and to make poor peoples lives worse.

The result will be expanded government power

So yeah, mission accomplished

Temporarily accomplished.
 
My only complaint about Juneteenth is the name of the holiday they came up with. Juneteenth National Independence Day isn't a great name. It's not an independence day. It's a freedom day. Juneteenth National Freedom Day should have been the name. But I'm all for celebrating it. Long overdue.

I wouldn't mind expanding it to also celebrate the reunification of the nation after the Civil War.
 
As long as it's not called Juneteenth Reinstatement Day, I'm ok with it. That would be in poor taste on a number of levels. Of course, I'm the only person who would think of something so offensive.

I like your idea since it combines something particular to the experience of enslaved people with something that is universal. Juneteenth Freedom Day has a great ring to it. Leave it to the drafters of the bill to mess it up. We need at least a couple poets in Congress.
