America has long had a radioactive racist soup in the center of our national life. Donald Trump thinks he is stirring it for political benefit. He’s actually doing something more dangerous.
For much of our history, the soup was deadly and uncontained, spewing radiation that led to the enslavement, terrorization, murder and oppression of African-Americans. One hundred years ago this summer, it erupted on the streets of Washington, leaving dozens dead. The president of Howard University narrowly escaped being lynched. The murders, beatings and threats erupted in countless places during the first 200 years of American life. To visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture is to discover that the violence and mistreatment is beyond count, but not beyond imagination.
Yet something good happened over the last 50 years. America started to get control over the dangerous radiation. We erected a containment building made up of laws; we passed statutes making the abuse and mistreatment of people by virtue of their race a crime. More important, we began enforcing the laws we already had. It was long a statutory crime to kill another human being; it just wasn’t against the law in practice to kill a black person in many places. The rights to vote and to equal treatment sounded muscular on paper, but they were weaklings in much of America. Slowly, slowly that began to change, through progress at ballot boxes and jury boxes, in police squad rooms and classrooms.

Blah, blah, blah.
Yes let Trump take a srand afainst black racism and hispanic racism.
Isn’t it interesting that The Squawed, AOC, Incestuous Ilhan, Rashida Tlbai and that other chick have all gone silent?
It’s as if demonicRATS have been assigned issues to exploit and scripts to follow.
Why was a sick lying partisan scum like Comey ever allowed to run our FBI?
This pig is now trying to capitalize on innocent deaths.
He’s delighting in shoving our noses into his exoneration by the DOJ. It’s not just President Trump he’s swiping at, it is us. The bastard got off scott free; just like Hillary and he’s going to resurface with criticisms every day and he and Clapper and Brennan are laughing their asses off....at us.
LegendHasit: “Mr President; “Please take a stand against treasonous, seditionist FBI officials.”
These inhuman unhumans are out of hand... really have partaken of the evil that seeps in all the cracks and crevices.
They’ve lost their minds! and don’t think they will ever recover.
“100 years ago a democrat was president - Woodrow Wilson”
Old Woody, the Progressive hero and the best friend the Klan ever had in Washington!/s
Mr. Comey, please assume the position.
James Comey, who became the whore of the Clintons, has no right to tell anyone what they should, and shouldn’t do.
If that mofo is not in jail by 2020 election, Trump loses.
Trump is letting himself looking like an ass at this point, DiGenova, Hannity and Q be damned.
Pound sand, LIAR Comey.
Someone needs to send Comey that image, “Worst. Racist. Ever.”, that lists so many things that Trump has done that are the opposite of racist,
Mr. Comey - Please shut your mouth. We’re not listening.
Ok, Comey...let’s start with the RACIST DEMOCRATS of the last 50 years!
I think he is an opportunist coming out now, projecting this racism crap off onto the president, to make it appear everything in the life of James Comey is normal, unicorns and pixie dust.
But he's about to find out that he dipped his pen in the poison ink one too many times with the FISA warrants. The DOJ has live signatures on the FISA warrants and Comey's name is on at least one of them.
No wiggling out of that one. I think one of the reasons Barr passed on the prosecution of Comey for his highly publicized unlawful leak to a friend who leaked to the NYT, was nail him on more serious offenses they have solid evidence on.
He's giving Comey a pass of what should have been a sure government win, in order to nail Comey on more serious offenses, namely the FISA warrants.
In thinking why Barr folded on the Comey leak case, I could come up with only one plausible reason for it. They have bigger fish they're going to fry with Comey.
I believe the DOJ has hard evidence he's lied and was a key part of the "we need to get of Trump" coup attempt that is still ongoing with Nadler's and Schiff's desperate investigations to nowhere in the House.
For a tall guy, Comey is such a little man.
So says the race baiting white opportunist who would never live in a minority hood. Black or Latino
Even with training and authority to carry weapons
You’re a BFD, Commey
