I’ve been screaming since 2011 white conservatives have been trying to whitewash history into their favor. We are coming full circle.

Constant attacks on black people but they are not racist, right?

Critics see Trump attacks on the 'Black Smithsonian' as an effort to sanitize racism in US history

Civil rights advocates, historians and Black political leaders are sharply rebuking President Donald Trump for his order targeting the Smithsonian Institution.

Will this was one of the major things he campaigned on./s

I like how republicans like to legislate/enact policies on things they know nothing about.

This is the same guy who demands that the Kennedy center switch to playing Cats, Phantom of the opera and Fiddler on the roof.

On Earth 2 right now Donald John Trump is a Tony award winning Broadway producer happily married to his male partner of 30 years who breeds purebred Persian cats in Port Washington.

Right wing media feeds into the racism. You don’t have to ever encounter Blacks/Latinos/immigrants/Arabs/etc. to just KNOW they’re the problem with this country, in fact it’s easier to hate those people if you don’t know any of them.
