Still Rising Again after All These Years 0
Solomon Jones finds it–let’s see–willfully blind that in the face of a lifetime of Donald Trump’s racist behavior some persons are only just now discovering Donald Trump’s racism. He suggests that those who do not speak out against the Trumpling are ipso facto complicit in it. A snippet:
In truth, Trump’s racism is profoundly American, because America is a racist country.
Racism built America’s wealth through brutal African enslavement. Racism supported the subjugation of black sharecroppers after the Civil War. Racism drove home the Jim Crow laws designed to create a permanent black underclass. Racism was enforced through state-sanctioned violence carried out by lynch mobs and police.
That is the true history of race in America, and in some ways, not much has changed. If we are ready to face that truth as a country united for justice, we can move forward. But if America continues to paint racism as a figment of black peoples’ fertile imaginations, our country will never change.

Be polite at parties.
An accidental shooting at a party in Southeast Rochester leads to one woman being hospitalized.

Police say a male was handling a long gun when it fired and struck Ijong.
My opinion is that males should not play with their portable penises–or, for that matter, any other penises–in the presence of others.
Furrfu.
Afterthought:
Notice how a man becomes a “male” and a child becomes a “juvenile” and a woman becomes a “female” in police-speak?
