Another example of the Trump administration trying to erase black history—in Europe !

Anyone else want to claim Donald Trump isn’t a racist/white supremacist ?

I remember reading about this online.

I am flabbergasted that in the year 2026, our government is alarmed at references to segregation.

Then again, the new plaque at Harper's Ferry manages to avoid mentioning slavery.
The thing is you can call someone a white supremacist, and not only do they not deny it, not only do they not explain why they are, they wear it as a badge of honour. When people get to that stage, there really is no point in arguing with them. As humans, they are lost. I've had an argument with someone on SW about this, and I said outright: "you are a white supremacist" and that comment got liked by that person.
@jackieash True, but this is also directed at the non-whites who voted for him and are somehow still in denial.

This was unfortunately coming, when Trump renamed the military bases back to there old civil war names, despite congressional laws against it.

The names they claimed are not the people from the civil war.

° Reverting Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, now named for World War II soldier Pfc. Ronald L. Bragg.

° Fort Cavazos was renamed back to Fort Hood, but it was said to honor a different Col. Robert B. Hood instead of the Confederate general.

Just the obviousness of the names is racist.

We've known that about him ever since he first made it into the news decades ago. :( Part of his appeal to MAGA, I assume. :(
@ChipmunkErnie Yes, but you’d be amazed how many still argue the point.

@bijouxbroussard Sadly, I'm not amazed -- sickened maybe, but not amazed. :(

I’m still shacking my head at Trump and his administration for claiming slavery wasn’t such a bad thing because the slaves learn t a trade. Cheers!

I am surprised they had the nerve to try and get away with this racist activity in Netherlands which has one of the most content integrated populations.
He and Kegsbreath have already removed all the official military web pages documenting the heroic actions of the Tuskegee Airmen and all the women who served valiantly in our wars and peace time…

Sadly we seem to be repeating exactly what led to the rise of fascism in the 1930s which led to these guys giving their lives.

Also noticed he shut down the Kennedy Center for renovation, so he does not have to schedule an event for Black history month.

I thought it was because no real artists are prepared to sign up to appear there while the T word is on the front of the building.

Sure, there's that, of course.
@bijouxbroussard …more troubling than interesting…
@KunsanVeteran Sarcasm.

Thanks for drawing attention to another vile act by a vile administration.
@FreddieUK …they just keep going from one vile act into another…each even worse than the ones before…
@FreddieUK They’re certainly not advertising these things. 🥺

Wow. That's pretty blatant, and really low, even for him.
No minimum…!@Piper …there is no minimum!

@NudasPriest I hope that entails putting some seriously new and powerful guardrails around Congress and the SCOTUS and establishes new ways to remove a POTUS and their entire administration for being incompetent, criminal, and mentally unfit.

And there has to be laws reining in these ICE type thugs as well.

It all starts by holding tRUMP, Clarence Thomas, Alito, Mike Johnson, Noem, Bovino, etc. legal accountable.

@softspokenman That's where we're headed right now. It has to be stopped, somehow, someway.
@Rutterman Unfortunately we understand what that means: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Thomas Jefferson Nov. 13, 1787
@Rutterman We absolutely NEED the granddaddy of all Blue Waves in the midterms.
