We’re at the point now where if you’re a white person who doesn’t spend every waking moment agonizing over the memory of slavery, you’re part of the problem.
Oh, and God have mercy if you utter a single word about being proud of the United States, a country to be remembered for only one thing: slavery.
President Trump accurately characterized the “angry mob” that for the past two months has been tearing through the country, demanding that we rearrange life to accommodate its sick, race-based ideology.
“Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities,” he said Friday.
“They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive. But no, the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country, and all of its values, history, and culture, to be taken from them.”
