Black culture is now anti-American...
Everything would be fine if black people just stopped being black...
Like poor people should just stop being poor, brown people stop being brown, gay people stop being gay, etc... everyone just needs to be straight and white and male... just common sense....
Trump wants to erase history and change the narrative to what the history books said when he was in kindergarten in the early 1950s. He doesn’t want an honest look at America’s flawed history, outlaws any mention of diversity and inclusion, and is uncomfortable with any discussion of race.
Presenting information about slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, police and judicial abuse of blacks is not "anti-American", it's the truth.
Trying to erase or rewrite history is done by despots and racists.
It's no surprise the MAGA gang of Nazis have embarked on their absurd campaign to suppress truth
Of course, everybody who knows this museum immediately understood that Trump was targeting it.
As a European, I've always considered it as a strange museum as it perpetuates the idea that black American are not true American. Of course, for Trump, they are not. But has he ever been in any museum?
This cannot get more disgusting! But it did...he wants to run 3 or more terms. PLEASE contact Supreme Court saviors....John Roberts and "maybe has a heart" Amy Coney Barrett. If they aren't for constitutional law we may have to give up.
Trump couldn’t be more racist if he wore a white hood every day! So far he and Musk have done nothing but remove any representation of the American people and replaced it with Whites Only signs!
I was very impressed by the museum and its presentation of the history of Africans and African-Americans in the colonies and US. This history is absolutely necessary, as uncomfortable as it may be, while our shared history is under revisionist attack.
Trump wants to White-wash our history. In his fantasy, racism does not exist and White privilege happens only because White men earned their status “on the merits.” When we acknowledge the truth of systemic racism, his fragile ego feels threatened.
Its also has a secondary effect of making it so we can't celebrate the *actual* progress we made. You know, the kind fought via protest and activism. Women always had the right to vote, civil rights didnt happen bc there is no racism etc etc. No inspiration and no blueprint for change.
We didn’t just elect Trump—we cast him. This is what happens when a country trades facts for feelings, leaders for performers, and shame for applause. America didn’t lose its way. It followed the script—and the cameras never stopped rolling.
It’s the worst kind of pride to pretend that everything you’ve done is unquestionably correct. There’s no moving forward without atonement, and moving forward is an irresistible imperative.

I’m proud to be an Asian American. Does that make me anti-American? Should I be shackled and removed from the country I was born in?
