At the direction of Donald Trump, whose father had once been arrested at a KKK rally in New York, the U.S. has revoked a 60-year-old executive order that protected equal opportunity in employment. He has called for an end to all diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. This February 1, today, neither the Pentagon nor the State Department will recognize Black History Month. These are very loud statements of his ugly character.
Showing his racism again, he immediately accused diversity hiring for the tragic accident of a helicopter and plane crash at the DC airport, long before an investigation into the crash had come to any conclusion.
The Republican Party has been systematically impeding black voters ever since the racist Roberts Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights laws of the ‘60s. They have found their leader, and not only voted for him, but some literally worship him.
The South has risen again - to be more specific, the Jim Crown South has risen again.
It is a very, very ugly sight.
