    Rather than read, watch this:


    Gotta warm you. It's pretty freaking intense.
    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    Kind of ironically I was listening to Hard Knock Radio this afternoon which is a progressive black radio program (the irony because they briefly discussed CRT) and the person getting interviewed is behind a hip hop hall of fame. I got fired up listening. It was pretty awesome.

    It looks like she clarified what she meant.

    I do not think teachers and educators are dumb. The way history is taught in high school and college is going to be different from 5th grade history.

    I do not think there is anything wrong with learning about slavery or the Holocaust in 5th grade.

    But I seriously doubt anyone is proposing workshops and seminars for a 4th grade discussion on the Stonewall gay riots.

    Unfortunately for many they have zero interest in history or how things came about- as if history began @ their birth or coming of age, anything prior is irrelevant... I wish I was joking or being sarcastic, but I'm not...
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Doesn't get your juices flowing? Did you watch the video? This is one of the most moving stories of survival and bravery.
    Try reading this book. Read the reviews.

    What do you call your systemic racism now then? Trump?

    Nothing but Zippy thought he'd just throw that into the mix anyway.

    At the risk of embarrassing myself I have to plead guilty and say I haven't.

    What is the best example of "systemic" racism in America right now?
