The cost may be steep and it may be a big economic shock, but it will allow millions of our fellow citizens to gain an equitable foothold in society.

Progressives are a gift to the Republican Party. And that's sad and tragic.

Sit down MAGA

It’s actually not a black moment. It’s a slavery moment and the descendants of slaves are now many colors.

It is NOT just slavery. Its everything that has come after slavery perpetuated by the federal government and state governments and local officials. Time and time and time again. You can point to X number of years for each of the groups mentioned here and yes, they were targeted (Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, etc) but they were not targeted for 400 years. Their children were not taken from them and sold. They were not brutalized and raped to have more chattel children.

And I will say this for the last time. Those groups- many of them knowing full well the issues against their kin- came here anyways, on their own. There is a difference. Discrimination is different than racism.

"Racism is the belief that race has an effect on human abilities and traits and that a particular race is superior to other. Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex. This is the key difference between racism and discrimination"

If we're engaging in the historical oppression Olympics, my Native friends & family are the gold medalists.
