Anna Paulina Luna just gave us “history” at a kindergarten paste-eating level.
Yes, Lincoln was a Republican. Yes, Southern Democrats defended slavery and Jim Crow. But those white Southern segregationists did not vanish into thin air — they became the backbone of the modern conservative Southern coalition after civil rights.
The Civil Rights Act was passed by a bipartisan coalition. The filibuster was led by Southern segregationists, not “today’s Democrats.” The KKK was founded by ex-Confederates to terrorize Black citizens and Reconstruction Republicans.
Juneteenth is not a GOP branding opportunity. It is a Black freedom holiday.
Luna is not teaching history. She is laundering Confederate politics through a Lincoln sticker.
@LangmanVince Obama is loved for his unmatched sophistication and decency. He showed the world a leader can be incredibly powerful while remaining completely polite and kind.
Whites should be embarrassed! A 400 yr head start and 💩4🧠 trump is what they picked to represent white excellence!
@SOrbit31914 Nope! Thank God they were! Folks got exposed ! Racist! The Obama’s displayed the highest level of professionalism and patience under the circumstances.
