— Rep. #MarjorieTaylorGreene

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on what's wrong with Black and Hispanic men.

Why #RacialSlavery should not be equated with #humantrafficking

"Colonial powers who have been slow in recognizing colonial slavery, refusing to apologize out of fear of compensation claims, are now at the forefront of fighting ‘modern slavery."
