What you’re witnessing wreak havoc throughout American society is anti-Blackness. It is a part of the rooted foundation of this country, it has flourished throughout this country's entire existence, & it is experiencing a public renaissance right now.

Jackie was a lifelong Republican...until the party adopted the 'Southern strategy' and abandoned Civil Rights in the 60s.

He campaigned in 1964 for Nelson Rockefeller in the Republican primary because Goldwater didn't support the Civil Rights Act...

And then in 1968, he campaigned for the Democratic candidate Hubert Humphrey *against* Richard Nixon.

Robinson was a person you can point to and legitimately be like “in America if you work hard enough you can overcome anything”. But now some drunk rapist like Hegseth can say his achievements don’t matter because they’re are woke and gay
