Refusing to honor Frederick Douglass simply because he was Black. This is overt racism. Jim Crow 2.0. It's always been MAGA's goal. (And white conservatives' goal since the 1960s.) It's happening before our eyes.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
