Disabled Mil Retiree, politically aware & pissed off realizing that America really hates Blk folks & refuses diversity, equity & inclusion even though it helps us ALL!
This same menacing photo that you asked Todd Blanch abt in the hearing, is also hanging in the Lobby of the VA Hospital & Clinic where I receive my care. He is flanked by the VP & VA Secretary, both who served, while he’s a 5 time draft dodger. Make it make sense😠
A friend & I made a pilgrimage from the Southwest to Montgomery, AL in 2019 to see “The National Memorial for Peace & Justice”, aka the “Lynching Museum”. Each pillar has etched in stone the names, dates & location of those lynched on those specific dates. Some pillars had so many names,
I see white men doing what white men have always done in this country & in this earth; use their internal fear of inadequacies & the need to dominate other cultures.
How evil is it for the VP to stand by while DJT takes food out of the mouth of children who need to eat just like he did when he was a kid.
This MYTH is the reason for pretty much everything in this country; “it’s the blacks”!!
This is a photo of the scare tissue left from repeated beatings with a whip by the people who enslaved him. DJT has ordered the National Parks to remove this photo. He can try to remove, hide or destroy, the evidence, but “chattel slavery” was a barbaric reality perpetrated by white America.
I usually have VA appointments 3-4 times a month, & I have to pass by THIS horrendous photo of him, JD & the lackey of a VA Sec, BUT on the other wall, this plaque.😂😂. For some reason it’s been up since 2009; through his 1st term & Biden’s. I LOVE IT!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I have a good laugh every time!!
He was much more than just the often used & miss-used “I have a Dream speech”
Just think how far this world wound be if only we were allowed to shine. People who were stollen from the Continent had so much knowledge, & that was stollen too. Reparations are in order, ain’t that right Jack Daniels & US Steel
Yes, & THIS & more IS what voters for DJT wanted. When I post “I was born in a segregated country & it looks like I’ll die in one”, I’m told on many platforms even this one, that racism is over, & yippie that DEI is over too. 1950, here we come, a full erasure of blk ppl in the USA.
I thought abt this too. The white supremest wld be dragging blk folks out of their homes & killing us. We saw what Jan 6 brought; whites not getting their way=violence There’s an entire museum dedicated to this type violence, but our country shldn’t need to allow this lie to continue out of fear
