this type of history

enrages me. Charges usually found out to be a lie. But it was a white woman allegedly despoiled by the black raging...think Emmitt Till. Innocent until proven guilty...not. Summary racist agitated executions that happened to thousands of unknown POC, African-Americans specifically.

always have. Even today with all the fascist pushback in the school system to not allow the true racist nature-history to be revealed to the children who one day may save this democracy. If it's not too late already. d.trump and his GQP goons have taken a mighty dump on our democracy. I don't think the stink can ever be washed clean again.
