A dozen bomb threats to black Universities. Nazis marching openly in Florida. Trump’s “good people.” |

so right wingers is this fair? was it wrong to do this to blacks?
Quote: | many Black veterans served honorably during World War II, only to be denied the benefits of the G.I. Bill when they returned to American soil.
The G.I. Bill was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt and gave considerable financial benefits to millions of veterans, including the opportunity to purchase homes, start businesses, obtain a debt free college education, among other things.
Many Black veterans in the Jim Crow south were denied access to aid that they rightfully deserved.
Sign the petition and urge congress to pay descendants and spouses of black WWII veterans.
SIGN THE PETITION
The G.I. Bill Restoration Act was introduced by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn along with Congressman Seth Moulton. This legislation would give financial benefits to descendants and spouses of Black veterans who fought in WWII and were excluded from aid outlined in the original G.I. Bill.
The G.I. Bill Restoration Act would provide descendants of Black World War II veterans with a transferrable benefit that could be used to obtain housing, go to college or start a business.
Many Black families were denied entrance into the middle class that their white counterparts were given. We can right this wrong that left many Black families behind! |

Michigan man accused of leaving nooses, racist notes is charged with hate crimes
Quote: | A Michigan man accused of terrorizing residents by leaving nooses and racist handwritten notes around his community to stop people from supporting Black Lives Matter has been charged with hate crimes, the Justice Department said Wednesday.
Kenneth Pilon, 61, was charged with six counts of interfering with federally protected activities for incidents dating to June and July 2020, the height of nationwide protests following George Floyd's death. Floyd, a Black man, was killed May 25, 2020, after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than 8 minutes.
Authorities allege in an affidavit that Pilon went to stores in Saginaw leaving nooses attached to a note that read: “An accessory to be worn with your ‘BLM’ t-shirt. Happy protesting!” The messages were found in several places, including a Goodwill parking lot, inside a beverage cooler at a 7-Eleven and in a Walmart parking lot.
He also left a noose and a note in a vehicle owned by Regina Simon and her then-husband, Donald Simon, according to the affidavit.
Regina Simon said she thinks her family was targeted after Pilon drove by and saw her in her yard wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt her son made. They found the note and the noose the next day when her husband went to get coffee. Regina Simon is Mexican and white, and her ex-husband is Black. |

Now TWO of your goddamned Divider In Chief presidents have called half the country, including me, racists. Biden's been saying it (and that we're terrorists, fascists, or nazis) for many months, and now Obama says in a sit-down televised interview that the GOP's clamor for controlling our borders is based on their fear/hatred of people with darker skins.
You POS and your leaders are just garbage, plain and simple. |

No doubt, the folks at ussanews.com hate Vice President Harris. Why does isobars think we would want to line up and follow such hateful views? |

Not sad, amusing. The first thing that pops up on his "source" is an add for false teeth, how to avoid dental visits, how to get rid of rats, picture of an assault rifle & a picture of a redneck who needs false teeth asking for money because they are being silenced. No wonder why he is a nut case.
