I don't subscribe to the Washington Post. Your summary. Thanks!

There is actually a book, “Passing For Who You Really Are: Essays in Support of Multiracial Whiteness”, written by a biracial women. As the title suggests, she rejects being lumped in with the darker skinned people who vote for Democrats. Enrique Tarrio and Harrison Floyd bought into the delusion that they were different.

I mentioned before that Black Republicans were told to shut up when they complained about the idea of Blacks benefiting from slavery. DeSantis specifically called out Tom Scott. The release of the full list of people the GA Grand Jury was ready to indict is telling. Republicans will only accept election results if they win. Any loss will be considered a rigged election. Situational awareness is of utmost importance.

Thanks.

Children in Germany are taught about the Holocaust. Somehow, teaching the truth about chattel slavery to children in the United States is harmful.

I visited Germany a few years ago, and the remembrance of the holocaust is everywhere. Walking through some of the memorials was quite chilling.

We get Confederate statues and howls if they are removed.

Since moving to the South, I've seen the Confederate statues and lots of rebel flags. It's funny to see the young white boys with Confederate decal flags plastered on their trucks and playing rap music. I haven't been to Stone Mountain yet, where I'm told several blacks reside. I've gotten used to seeing the Confederate symbols. I used to work with rednecks. I covered them and they covered me. I legally carry firearms. I live in Trump territory (70% of GOP voters). So far, no major problems.
