‘Great nations don’t hide from their history’

Then why are the historical statues being pulled down?

Schools, roads and buildings being renamed?

Sport franchises being renamed?

That’s right. Tearing down statues equals book burning.

So blacks now have two Federal holidays and are about to get a third. No other race in America is honored with a Federal holiday. And yet the wokesters claim that institutional racism permeates America.

So we have a Negro Day in winter. This year we were given a Negro Day in springtime. Now Biden has given us a Negro Day in summer.

I thought all monuments and references to the Civil War and slavery were supposed to be torn down and forgotten?

Progressivism is the schizophrenia of political ideologies.

Their internal polling must be horrible if they have to keep pushing black victimhood.
