The freedmen were not really free in 1865, nor are most of their descendants really free in 1965. Slavery was but one aspect of a race and color problem that is still far from solution here, or anywhere. In America, particularly, the grapes of wrath have not yet yielded their bitter vintage. — The Oxford History of the American People [1965], ch.1
There is something about Nikki Haley that will never allow her to grasp and understand how to explain the lingering impact enslavement has had on Blacks.
Trump said he would be a dictator on day one. Does anyone believe he will stop being a dictator at the stroke of midnight?
If Trump manages to win, Trump’s retribution will not be limited to what he does here in the United States. He will partner with Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un, and the world order as we currently know it will for sure become the despotic nightmares we read about back in High School in 1984, Fahrenheit 451, The Hunger Games, and Handmaid’s Tale.
Tonight is the first (and only?) debate between Kamala Harris and an orange stain on this country's history. It begins at 6:00pm PDT/9:00pm EDT and we are hosting a live chat via our Vox Populi app starting then as well as streaming the live video of the debate below so you can watch and live chat on the same screen. Ain't modern technology wonderful?

"No amount of persuasion can change a man's reaction to what he knows. But what he knows can be changed, and the most direct manner is to alter the images in his mind." - Dennis Kimbo
“The times that tried men’s souls are over, and the greatest and compleatest revolution the world ever knew is gloriously and happily accomplished.
It won’t happen for either of them. The first is they are of the wrong hue. Trump would love to have a large segment of the Black vote as a bragging right, but he will settle for whatever or whoever shows up to cast a vote for him. He will then lie about how thousands upon thousands of Black voters left Biden to vote for him.
Tonight we are hosting a live chat during tonight's presidential debate between President Biden and an orange-faced demented madman. What could go wrong? Hope to see you here so we can share the debate and our thoughts together!
