Black Republicans. Why would anyone, even those who think they are above the law and above paying taxes, try to appeal to people who hate them? I will never understand this. Black Americans have been oppressed in this country ever since the first African was dragged in chains off a slave ship- these Black Repugs are truly insane.
…the amount of political NAZIS propagandists are FUCKING ENORMOUS !!!!
…humanity just fell asleep in a race for more goods they can not afford nor own, confusing technological advances for a progress considering themselves “well off” despite the fact everything they own doesn’t belong to them, from houses and cars to children’s “education”, but they’d rather lose their rights and freedoms then to lose all that, it’s insanity, but that’s how propaganda works, this country worships money, while power is the only commodity elite is after, we have so many millionaires who are just patsy for those who came from politics and power behind it, it’s easier to confuse people with soft commercial propaganda to predispose them to the real system authority - corporations are can not be fucked with because “it’s economy stupid”, they are who GIVING YOU JOBS and a “chance” to compete in a system set up against you by design, propaganda is not a new concept and one would argue “i’m not stupid”… well, i think now we really have a solid argument to the contrary of that statement don’t we ?
Thank you for the education. Some people will be moved the wrong way due to this person. Remember, every brother ain’t a brother (Public Enemy)! Check up on what this imbecile says and you will see the lies of it. Welfare Queens were white. The majority of people on welfare were white.
What an ass is the Florida congressman Byron MacDonald for even suggesting the discrimination of the Jim Crow era kept Black families together. With obstacles to the vote, jobs, the right they to live in certain neighborhoods, separate but unequal education, separate shops separate everything! Violence and terror marked this time in our history leading to the lynching and murder of far too many black americans. MacDonald is an obvious opportunists and a fool! 💙✌🌹😏
…how did you recon this ? …all i see to the contrary, NAZIS are taking our country state by state and school district by school district, the amount of political NAZIS propagandists are FUCKING ENORMOUS !!!!

CellyBlue: There should be NOBODY here with illusions about the past.
I am 76, and I grew up through the whole 1950s and beyond.
Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Ross Barnett, the police clubbing and firehosing of peaceful demonstrators, the murders of such statesmen as Medgar Evers, Dr Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, RFK, and most of all, those innocent, beautiful, promising and hopeful young girls in the Birmingham Church.
Each of these and far more are not history to me, but are living memories, a living part of my person that lived through all of that.
I was an ignorant white kid who was awakened in my teens by the Great Moral Movement of My Time -- the Civil Rights Movement.
The Civil Rights Movement was nothing less than the rebirth of America in the Spirit of All persons being created equal, with each person entitled to human dignity and due process of law and the right to pursue happiness and develop herself or himself fully according to that person's hopes.
As a 76-year-old, I will tell anyone who listens, for a long time the Jim Crow voices were more subtle, but there is a wave of hatred where Jim Crow is bolder and nakeder.
The ugly face of Jim Crow is not significantly different than naked fascism.
As with any age, there was much moving and beautiful in the 1950s and 1960s. There were wonderful, beautiful cultural movements, and it was a very worthwhile time to live through.
But Jim Crow wrought oppression that was capable of crushing the human spirit, and I am furious that Jim Crow has reared his ugly, serpentine head worse than I have seen in scores of years.
CellyBlue: Yours is an important, beautiful voice, and I for one am very thankful for all that you share. You have a deep knowledge of history and you share it powerfully and with beautiful, moving prose.
I’ve seen that clip two times. He’s entirely unaccountable. I’ve thought it’s not what you say. It’s how you are heard. Maybe stop blaming the democrats, media etc. maybe choose words that are easier in understanding what you mean.
You have such a strong voice. I love/need to hear it. Thank you.
I will never understand how someone can be not white and Republican and expect to be taken seriously.
They're Nazis. Don't matter how much y'all suck up, they are never a safe option.
I wonder if anyone asked Byron Donalds about Trump’s wanting the death penalty for The Central Park 5 and get his opinion on that.
He’d probably say something. I Can’t judge him by that one full front page ad on killing brothers
…no doubt uncle Ruckus would find a few ridiculous excuses to stay a bigot in that conversation
Powerful post. Thank you for the history lesson. 🙏

The republicans are folding faster than the Afghan Army.

Well said Celly. Great history lesson for the Donalds set out clearly with controlled anger.
