Openly Racist…there are at least six openly racist members of Congress in an office on Capitol Hill, and more are waiting for the opportunity to join them.
Donald Trump provided the bumbling idiots with a platform to spread their ignorance and dangerous racist ideology.

That’s why they do what they do today.
As a result, the Republicans are trying to reverse and dismantle everything achieved in the sixties.
Namely…
Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968) was the nation’s most prominent leader in the 20th-century struggle for civil rights.

Dr. King organized a year-long bus boycott during this period.
During the Montgomery Movement, the city’s buses were integrated, and a nonviolent protest movement spread across the United States.
Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955, the year I was born, for refusing to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
Ultimately,
Dr. King was arrested 30 times for his participation in civil rights activities.
He was instrumental in organizing the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965.
While working tirelessly to ensure the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, he was present when President Johnson signed both that act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
He expanded his focus to include poverty and the Vietnam War in the final years.
If it weren’t for the brave men and women who put themselves in harm’s way, integration would not have happened.
Simultaneously…Openly Racist
Parents, relatives, and friends with deeply ingrained character flaws who are unhappy teach racism in their homes.
Instead of dealing with their internal issues, they want to dislike anyone with melanin in the skin…
So, racism spreads like a virus, for instance, COVID. A person who is close to a carrier will probably become infected.
Thus, if a child is born into any family, white, black, or otherwise, and hears someone consistently belittle, degrade, or show contempt for any other race…that child will become like the adults in their family.
How a child learns is influenced by what they have lived. (OPENLY RACIST)
Although, the family dynamics are very different today than in yesteryears. There is much to be done.
