Al Sharpton and other activists are telling Black Americans and Black-owned businesses to boycott America’s 250th birthday.
My response: You do not speak for me.
You do not get to use my skin color to tell me what I can celebrate. I was not a slave. You were not a slave. We are free Americans, and I refuse to walk around pretending we are still in chains.
Yes, I proudly put George Washington on my America 250 Cousin T’s pancake box. He owned slaves, but that is not his entire legacy. He was also our first president and helped build the nation that gave people like me the freedom to rise.
I went from foster care to building Cousin T’s, a successful Black-owned American company. I am living the American Dream.
So while Al Sharpton is calling for a boycott, I am calling for Black Americans to stop letting professional outrage merchants convince us that patriotism belongs only to white people.
America is my country too.
I will celebrate her loudly, proudly, and without permission.
@JanetA441971989@bennyjohnson They have people that will come to your car for you to vote if you’re handicapped. My husband stood in line and they then moved him to the front of the line after only requesting a seat. Handicapped can vote as well as everyone else
Thune is again using pro-forma sessions to make pretend the Senate is still in session, to block Trumps recess appts
Join me in calling on Trump to use the power vested in him, under (Art- II- Sec,3) to call the Senate back into session... until they Pass the Save America Act
Day 2 of my demand to Governor Greg Abbott.
Governor Abbott,
Texas needs a strict, no-leniency proposal that stops the Islamic invasion of our state.
I am calling on you to do the following immediately:
• Pull every taxpayer dollar from Islamic schools and any programs advancing Sharia ideology in Texas.
• Remove all halal products from store shelves across the state — the animal torture involved in much of halal slaughter has no place in a civilized society.
• Shut down CAIR’s operations in Texas. This organization has no business influencing our communities or our laws.
• Pull funding from public schools that make the Quran and other indoctrinating stories available for checkout in their libraries.
And to make this proposal truly tough and permanent: Pass legislation that completely bans the recognition or application of Sharia law in any Texas court (including Sharia arbitration for civil, marriage, and family matters), school, business, or public institution.
One Law for All Texans — the U.S. Constitution and Texas law. No accommodations. No exceptions. No apologies.
Governor, the people of Texas are done with half-measures and lenient policies that have allowed this to grow. Lead with strength. Protect our state.
Texans are DONE with complacency.
Tag @GregAbbott_TX and demand these steps now. Share this post. The time for action is today.
