I had no idea this had occurred, absolutely appalling 🥺

Yeah, it takes a while to sink in, and frankly, it’s been suppressed.

American history is appalling.

So is the present.

As you said, it's not past. Lynching and slavery still happening today. The racism, oppression, and destruction tactics have just morphed to be more covert.

Many people believe fascism only came to America with 45, but the sad reality is that fascism never left, it's just been reinvigorated.

But it was Clearance Thomas who was the victim of a high tech lynching. . . 🙄

So we now know it takes white people 100 years to apologize for murder of innocent people.

I sometimes wonder if the Watchmen film a few years back was a catalyst for actually getting an official response out.

(No excuse for such a long delay, obviously, and it's less of an observation about the movie than an indictment of the DoJ.)

I was stunned when, only a few years ago, I learned this had happened.
Everyone needs to know -- there needs to be a major documentary.
