Seems like one reason Republicans are so eager to build a wall around the American history memory hole is to quash the next generation’s ability to connect their drive to crush nonwhite voting and the confederacy and its progeny’s war against black multiracial democracy.
And of course, they’d love to drive a wedge through the heart of the Justice for George Floyd coalition, while amping up Trump voters ahead of 2022. As usual, it’s all about power.
And miss me please with the “but it was the Democrats who done it!” No shite, Sherlock. Black people know that. And we deeply feel the irony that the party most Blacks joined after the civil war totally rebranded itself, the same way they’re now rebranding critical race theory.
