CellyBlue: Your column is replete with well-documented facts and logical analysis tying together events and coming to the only reasonable conclusions.

Your columns are a leading light to me, and I LOVE your narratives.

You speak with reason and somehow combine logic with passion in a way that radiates very deeply into my own heart.

Thank you, thank you, and keep these coming!

Anyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, gender orientation, etc., who believes TFG gives a hot damn about anyone but himself, is fooling themselves or hopelessly and willfully ignorant. And, his route to power (and to escape accountability) runs directly through rich, predominantly white male "Christians", their family connections and lackeys, and the uneducated, gullible rural white voters in key swing states who have nothing but anger and who buy the right-wing propaganda.

Great article. Thank you. Regarding help for black run businesses I read recently that a court has ruled that even the very small % of funding which is earmarked for them is now illegal. I bet Trump didn’t mention that. https://apnews.com/article/black-women-businesses-federal-court-ae4ed6a9b298d7e00ff9e4c16324a32b

Yes and that lawsuit came about through attorneys for the Heritage Foundation.

It must have been our “Rule against everything logical and decent Supreme Court” recent ruling. Bump stocks are fine, upside-down flags, sure, Clarence Thomas receiving million-dollar vacations and a motor home to park in Walmart parking lots that he said he loves.

My family has never been racist. We cheered when Clinton, TN school opened their doors to Black children although several thugs yelled obscenities and spit at the kids.

Most schools are OK with the mixture of students-Black, White, Mexican, and some others. My sister who worked with a group of missionaries for several years adopted two mixed race small boys, a girl and a boy from her trip to Belize. Our family loves these now grown boys and girls with families of their own. Why can we all love all children as our own?

I am not Black but I can see and hear Trump’s racist words and deeds. Any Black person who supports this monster for President should be embarrassed.

I say the same for any white woman!

Thanks for this article! My Black housemate insists that Obama did nothing for Black people so I have forwarded it to him.

The lies coming from the orange one are astounding! What’s worse is that people actually believe that crap. I absolutely love the Malcolm X quote because this is still happening today. Because we are not taught real history, this pattern is repeated and we have to fight the same battles all over again. 45 is a completely screwed up being. If you support 45, then you are screwed up as well. I will NEVER support that being.

Thank you ! Your research and proofs of historic moments and people are valuable to this reader. Sometimes I just end up with more questions as I wonder: Who are we …humans?

Excellent! Strong work that I appreciate so very much. I hope you begin a trend of lies being called out for what they are, lies and propaganda. I look forward to reading more.

Thank you for sharing this. I was unaware but I'm not surprised. It's always the Black community that gets hit first, it's always the hardest hit and it's always the Black community that has the hardest path forward. I also want to thank you for being my first subscriber. I was thrilled then and I remain grateful. All the best to you.
