And that is the point! - We need to get into Trump’s face with the facts vs his alternate narrative before he embellishes his version onto the public.

Over a period of the past 150 years Black people in America has done an amazing job in making the country less racist. The sacrifices have not gone unnoticed. But that effort will never be finished. It’s up to White and Black and Latinos in the country to rid ourselves of this scourge

Most of the white population did not vote for Trump. But a good portion of the Black and Latino population did vote for him in 2024. Most Americans are not racists and certainly not fascists so my recommendation is to dial it down a couple notches and try if you can meet people half way.
