Hey Jasmine…

Black pilot here.

I think you missed the plot.
Then again, that’s becoming a pattern.

I graduated from West Point.
I went through Army flight school.
I learned to fly the AH-64 Apache.
I deployed to combat and flew 55 combat missions over Baghdad.

Nobody handed me a cockpit because of my skin color.

Nobody lowered the standards for me.

Nobody looked at me and said, “Let’s check a diversity box.”

That’s what people like you don’t seem to understand.

Suggesting that Black pilots, Black engineers, Black doctors, or Black leaders need special preferences to succeed is not empowering, it’s insulting.

I didn’t want a different standard.
I wanted the same standard.

And when you’re flying into combat, the American people don’t care what race the pilot is.

They care whether the pilot is qualified.

Merit isn’t racist.
Excellence isn’t discriminatory.

And reducing every achievement to skin color says far more about your worldview than it does about mine.

Dems have spent a DECADE calling President Trump a "Nazi" & smearing him with false allegations.

Today, they can't find the moral courage to oppose a guy with a literal Nazi tattoo & *credible* abuse allegations.

I want you to pay close attention to everyone who is rushing to Graham Platner's defense. Realize who and what we're dealing with here.

For 500 Counts
• Each instance of writing/stamping/etc. on currency (or each separate prohibited advertisement) could potentially be charged as a separate count.
• In theory, this could mean up to $2,500,000 (500 × $5,000) in fines for an individual, plus any alternative fine based on pecuniary gain or loss (e.g., twice the gross gain if you profited from it). You better hope that do you don’t get paid by how many people click on your stuff!

@EdKrassen Hey @FBIDirectorKash
And @FBI
This moron admitted to a crime.
He even posted the video as evidence.
Lock him up.

[Love Beyond Color @LoveBeyondCo1or]

White people have been fighting for black people since slavery, and they gave their lives to end slavery when they didn’t even start it. The least I can do is fight for them too. We have to End Racism Against White People Too.

@mmpadellan I agree 100% it was slowly turning into a trash receptacle since Obama but thank God Trump Is cleaning it up again!

Leftists: America is racist.

Me: 👇🏻

America is so racist that millions risk their lives crossing deserts and oceans just to get here.

America is so racist that we have more Black millionaires than the top 19 African countries combined.

America is so racist that over 45% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children.

America is so racist that Black Americans have created more millionaires than entire continents.

America is so racist that minority homeownership and entrepreneurship keep hitting record highs.

America is so racist that Black Americans have a higher standard of living than the average citizen in most European countries.

America is so racist that interracial marriage rates keep climbing to all-time highs every year.

America is so racist that minority students from low-income families attend college at record numbers.

America is so racist that our military is one of the most racially integrated institutions on the planet.

America is so racist that refugees from war-torn countries build thriving communities within one generation.

America is so racist that we have more Hispanic-owned businesses than the entire GDP of many Latin American nations.

America is so racist that people tear down borders and climb walls just to live in this “oppressive” country.

America is so racist that we elected a Black president...twice.

If you think America is racist you need to sit down and STFU.

How do I know the media is brainwashing people?

Obama's ICE Chief received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.

Trump's ICE Chief is called a Nazi.

It is the same person.....Tom Homan....

The only difference? The narrative.

@acwTX @PopularLiberal Yet effective at putting out the historical facts to counter the Democrats constant cherry picking of facts. I think we will have to agree to disagree. I do wish you a healthy and happy life.

Part 2 -
“Jim Jones-esque Grifter Cult” and Racism Claims
This is hyperbolic rhetoric, not analysis. Both parties have grifters and extremists. Attributing racism as the core of one party today ignores:
• Outcomes over rhetoric: Black poverty, family breakdown, and urban crime rates improved under some GOP policies (1990s crime bill elements, welfare reform, opportunity zones). Persistent gaps correlate more with culture, single parenthood (~70%+ nonmarital Black births), and failed big-government experiments in Democrat-run cities than GOP “racism.”
• Dems’ record: Modern Democrats have their own issues—soft-on-crime policies harming Black communities most, race essentialism (e.g., 1619 Project critiques, reparations pushes that can foster division), and historical continuity in some urban machines. Robert Byrd (KKK past) was a top Democrat into the 2000s.
• Racism exists in individuals across parties and races. Polling and behavioral data (e.g., hiring audits, crime stats) show group differences exist, but using them to paint 30-40% of the country (GOP voters) as a “racist cult” is collectivist nonsense. Most Republicans support legal immigration, oppose discrimination, and judge by content of character. Claims of systemic GOP racism often rely on dog-whistle interpretations of neutral policies (border security, merit, “welfare dependency”).
Voters realigned for complex reasons: economics, culture wars, federal power. Treating the South’s shift as proof Republicans inherited all racism ignores that explicit Southern segregation died with the old Democrats, and today’s divides are more class/ideology than North-South race baiting. Lincoln’s party evolved into one skeptical of identity politics—which many see as the real threat to his vision, not the alternative. Policy debate beats ancestral guilt trips

[Fred R. Gervers @Gervs]

Historical Accuracy on Parties Pre-1960s
You’re right that Southern racists and segregationists were overwhelmingly Democrats for a century after the Civil War. The Democratic Party was the vehicle for slavery, the Confederacy, Jim Crow laws, poll taxes, literacy tests, and the KKK (founded by Democrats as a terrorist arm against Black Republicans and Reconstruction). Republicans, from Lincoln onward, were the anti-slavery party that passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, and pushed early civil rights efforts. Southern Democrats (Dixiecrats) led the resistance—filibusters, lynchings, and segregation. This isn’t debatable; it’s the record. 
Republicans were stronger in the North and more tied to industrialization, business, and (initially) Black voters. No one serious disputes the broad regional/ideological split back then.
The 1960s Realignment Wasn’t a Clean “Switch”
The claim that “none of that has been the case since the 1960s” via Nixon’s Southern Strategy oversimplifies a messy, multi-decade process driven by economics, culture, migration, and ideology—not a Republican plot to recruit racists. 
• Civil Rights Act of 1964: Passed with higher Republican support than Democratic. House: Republicans 80% yes vs. Democrats 61%. Senate: Republicans 82% vs. Democrats 69%. The longest filibuster came from Southern Democrats. LBJ (a Democrat with his own segregationist past) signed it, but needed GOP votes. Goldwater (R) opposed it on federal overreach grounds and won some Deep South states in 1964, but this was regional conservatism, not a master plan. 
• Southern Strategy: This is heavily mythologized. Nixon’s 1968 campaign emphasized “law and order,” states’ rights, and slowing forced busing—appealing to backlash against rapid changes, crime, and cultural upheaval (shared by many Northern whites too). He didn’t run on segregation; he enforced some desegregation while criticizing extremes. Kevin Phillips and others noted the shift, but Nixon won the presidency partly by ceding the Deep South to segregationist Democrat George Wallace initially. The South’s full GOP turn took decades, accelerating with Reagan in the 1980s. 
Realignment happened because:
• National Democrats moved left on race, welfare, and culture (attracting Black voters, who had already begun shifting under FDR).
• Southern whites (and many Northern working-class) gravitated to GOP emphasis on limited government, strong defense, traditional values, and economic growth.
• The South modernized economically—suburbs, air conditioning, Sun Belt migration, declining agriculture. GOP became the party of middle-class aspirants, not just “racists.” Racial attitudes improved dramatically across the board post-1960s (intermarriage, integration, declining explicit prejudice). The GOP dominated the South in its least racist era. 
White Southern conservatives didn’t “become Republicans while staying racist”—racism declined as they aligned with broader conservative principles. Economic data, crime concerns, religion, and anti-communism mattered more.
Lincoln and Modern Republicans
Lincoln’s relevance isn’t about 1860s policy but enduring principles: individual liberty, skepticism of centralized power over states/citizens, color-blind opportunity, and opposition to identity-based grievance. Modern GOP platforms (school choice, criminal justice reform like First Step Act under Trump, enterprise zones, opposition to race quotas/DEI) echo that more than Democratic ones heavy on group-based redistribution and identity politics. Black support for GOP remains low (~10-15% nationally), but that’s not proof of racism—it’s policy disagreement (e.g., views on family structure, education, policing). Polls show many Black Americans prioritize economics, safety, and opportunity over party loyalty.

Just because one Democrat could see the writing on the wall does not change the facts. The Republican Party did more to end slavery in America. 
Historical Context (1854–1865)
• The Republican Party was founded in 1854 explicitly to oppose the expansion of slavery into new territories (following the Kansas-Nebraska Act). It drew from anti-slavery Whigs, Free Soilers, and abolitionists. 
• Abraham Lincoln (Republican) won the 1860 election on an anti-slavery-expansion platform. Southern states seceded, leading to the Civil War.
• Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation (1863), freeing slaves in Confederate territory as a war measure.
• Republicans in Congress drove the 13th Amendment, which constitutionally abolished slavery nationwide.
13th Amendment Voting Record
Senate (April 8, 1864): Passed 38–6.
• Nearly unanimous Republican support (around 30 Republicans yes).
• Only a handful of Democrats (mostly border-state) supported it; most opposed.
