I don’t necessarily see this, but can you blame them for being worried? This country literally had blacks enslaved and treated as chattel property for hundreds of years.

The sooner we acknowledge this and come to terms with it, the sooner we will earn the respect of black America and get their votes.

The GOP, in general, should appeal to them.

I’ve yet to see facts that support this claim.

Can you point me in the right direction?
Despite existing systemic issues and the work that lies ahead, we should celebrate 250 years of a country that has given untold opportunity to many people. There is work to come, but I want to stop and celebrate it.
I won’t be there. I don’t live in Virginia.

I think we should all honor our great experiment and celebrate 250 years together, not apart.
My wife’s siblings live in Virginia and their neighborhood is hosting a large “counter” Fourth of July gathering to illuminate what some see as hypocrisy in our founding ideals. I support the right to assembly, but it highlights an important consideration I wish both sides remembered more.

For context, of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence (often referred to as the “Founding Fathers”) 41 owned slaves at some point in their lives.

However, choosing to ignore how people actually thought and acted in the constraints of their time waters-down history. Humans are complicated figures.

Slavery’s abomination doesn’t negate the Founding Fathers’ other achievements any more than it erases those of countless other flawed humans across other eras.

We can (and should) condemn the ownership of human beings unequivocally while recognizing why the founding principles are still taught and their importance to American institutions.

Statues, names on schools, and currency reflect gratitude for what they built, but don’t have to be a blanket endorsement of every aspect of their lives.
Not a good look for Trump.

Total defiance IMO.
Just watched the video.

Not that she had to, but she retreated and he followed her.

She literally “stood her ground” and dealt with the threat.

He should have known not to press her. A parking spot is not worth dying over.
The fact a man can get body armor, machine guns, grenades and a flamethrower is absolutely unacceptable. .

He was also an ardent racist. Not the best analogy to use.
Well one of them has a grenade launcher on it.

Kill many deer with a grenade launcher?

Exactly.
No person should ever be able to acquire that many machine guns. Ridiculous.

These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.

Nothing to see here.

Even MAGA knows something’s up.
There isn’t a public school teacher anywhere worth a severance package of $2M. That would be clear public malfeasance.
You can support immigration for work purposes and still reject the granting of blanket citizenship.

Only man I know who loves gold more than the Persians selling fake hats in Times Square.

The settlement itself is not an admission that the university violated the Constitution.
Sure, Jan.

But their lawyers knew they did, which is why they advised the school to settle or face a much larger judgement (and more embarrassment) at trial.
I’m just citing statistics.

Basically if you want your lineage to have a say in government (and not be subjugated by current minorities as soon as they take power in 3 generations) then you have to consider mixing your races, at least based on how we define race in America. I think that’s what this trend is showing.

America continues to mature. It’s all part of a country’s self realization. It doesn’t happen overnight.

You may have fond memories of 1976, but a lot of Americans don’t.

Vietnam vets were denied proper medical care. Jim Crow was still much very alive in some parts of the South. Real wages were lower than they are today.
Yes, multiracial (or interracial/multiethnic) births have been increasing as a share of total U.S. births, even as the overall birth rate and total number of births have declined.

Multiracial births were 14% of total U.S. births in 2015. In 2025 it rose to 21%.
You might say it’s been a big week for the Constitution :USA:
