Fox News is a hazard to our democracy. It’s time to take the fight to the Murdochs. Here’s how.

Ok so I read several items that have to do with 1619 project. I see several issues with what this “project” is trying to impose. I think a lot of other ethnicities that have helped build this country would take offense to the one race saying that they are responsible for where our country is and where it came from. I read where the American Revolution wasn’t fought to gain our freedom from the British, but to keep slavery alive. Stating that the person who took a stand against many, to do what many others all over the world wouldn’t do, including blacks in Africa who sold them, in the name of humanity, to abolish slavery, a WHITE SUPREMACIST, is just plain ignorant. There are still people in this world who are in servitude. As with everything else that is going now, to disagree labels me as a racist. Is it because I don’t agree or is it because I’m white. Which makes this racist. This country has done more to advance black people than any other country. Is there racism? Yes. There always has been and always will be. Why, because there will always be some people who think they are being oppressed. Being oppressed is very different from just placing blame on people because you have chosen a life style that does nothing to help you advance your self or your community. Why doesn’t the black community consider having all black colleges, or BET, or a Black Miss America pageant, or BLM inc., racist. How can they say they don’t get a fair chance when there are black people in every facet of American society, at the highest levels, and, and, as president of this great country. It has been said before and it needs to be said again and again. When kids raise themselves, without a moral compass, without a solid family life, without having to answer for their actions, chances of having the tools to be a productive individual in society is very small. Do things need to change. Yes. Does trying to erase or rewrite the past accomplish this, I say no. If you want to bring to light something that you feel needs to be heard ok. Calling people racist because they don’t agree and destroying communities and peoples lives to try and change history is ignorant. The narrative that msm is pushing to keep ALL American at odds is really working. I’ve never in my life seen so much hate among Americans. Who knows what the truth is any more!
