Democracies are built on a foundation of truth.
We should embrace our rich history, simultaneously we should acknowledge that our nation has neglected to live up to its highest principles.

COMMENTARY: Let’s say it plainly: There has never been a president as corrupt as Donald Trump.
There is no close second in our history.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani mocks Ronald Reagan’s infamous quote.
“I can think of nine words more terrifying than ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help…’”
“I worked all day and can’t feed my family.”
This is some crazy cope.
Trump isn’t respected by China, they just know they can manipulate him with pomp and circumstance.
The American people are about to get fleeced.
America didn’t turn ugly because he became President, he became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.
There’s nothing funny about letting a white man disrespect George Floyd, comedy roast or not.
Black celebs laughing at George Floyd jokes the same week white racists are openly trying to strip your community of its power and rights is exactly why they think they can keep playing in our faces.
A Black man was murdered in front of the world. That wasn’t a punchline. That was racial violence.
This is exactly why Black people are desensitized to their own disrespect.
Corny.
A reminder for the “George Bush wasn’t that bad and everything was so civil” crowd that it is Bushes Supreme Court picks that that are overseeing the gutting of VRA and overturning of Roe V. Wade.
This is why Pan Africanism, Black nationalism and the development of Africa and the African Diaspora are important.
We cannot depend on white people on either side of the political spectrum to support our upliftment.
Unbelievable : The corporations sponsoring Sean Duffy’s 7 month reality TV trip are all regulated by the department he leads. They literally paid him to take an extended vacation from doing his job.
I know we like to pinpoint to Nixon, Bush, and Reagan for the issues of the country.
Unfortunately, our issues also stem back to the fall of Reconstruction with the Compromise of 1877 and not sentencing members of the Confederacy to death after the Civil War ended.
It will never cease to embarrass me that the second a Black man took the highest office in the land, White Americans rose up to make sure no person of color could ever attain a position of such authority anywhere ever again.
"The right never lost their faith that if they were patient and determined enough, the 1960s could be undone — and maybe some of the 1860s too. They knew that even after a statue of a slaveholding traitor is torn down, defeat is not permanent. In fact, that statue may *literally* be raised back up." https://t.co/uwpxCk5QjT
