A $500,000 bond is set for a Mobile, Alabama, man who police say killed anoth­er man by hit­ting him over the head with a shov­el and pipe. Prosecutors on the case told a judge at a bond hear­ing they believe the assault might have been racial­ly moti­vat­ed. The attack­er was white, the vic­tim was Black.

Morgan Daniel Barnhill, 27, orig­i­nal­ly told the offi­cers in the Mobile Police Department he struck a man because he thought an unknown bur­glar was break­ing into his shed on March 29.

However, author­i­ties say an inves­ti­ga­tion swift­ly uncov­ered the man who knew the per­son he bashed in the head with two sharp and heavy objects. It was his neigh­bor, a 25-year-old Black man named Etienne Murray.

An offi­cer close to the case said, “Through the inves­ti­ga­tion, it was deter­mined that the alleged vic­tim (Barnhill) inten­tion­al­ly mis­led offi­cers about an attempt­ed bur­glary on the 4300 block of Windy Hill Circle East.”

“Detectives dis­cov­ered sev­er­al incon­sis­ten­cies in Barnhill’s state­ment,” the source con­tin­ued. “And deter­mined he filed a false report claim­ing an unknown male was attempt­ing to break into a shed on his property.”

Barnhill assault­ed Murray with a gar­den shov­el and a pipe and wait­ed hours before call­ing author­i­ties to report his injuries or the alleged crime he said he was pre­vent­ing. Murray died three days lat­er on April 1. 

Police said there were no addi­tion­al details about the inci­dent, call­ing it “an active homi­cide investigation.”

Barnhill’s bail bond was set for $500,000 on April 4. Should the bond be met, he will be required to wear an ankle bracelet and stay on house arrest, WKRG reports.

The deceased’s moth­er said the two men were friends and her son was even invit­ed over to Barnhill’s home for a bar­be­cue. She claimed Barnhill believed Murray stole a purse from his property.

WTVY reports Linday Gayle, Murray’s moth­er, said, “After he beat my baby, he left him there, didn’t call for help, didn’t try for help. If he would’ve called for help, maybe my baby would still be here.”

“I want him to know he has shat­tered my world,” the bereaved moth­er con­tin­ued. “He took my baby, and he didn’t have to do that. If he feels like my child took some­thing from him, why not call the police? Why not han­dle it the right way? Why take the cow­ard­ly way out and beat my child’s head and leave him there?”

The moth­er said she doesn’t “want any­thing bad to hap­pen” to the man respon­si­ble for her son’s death.

“I don’t want him to die because I don’t want any oth­er moth­er feel­ing the pain that I feel right now,” Gayle said. “No moth­er should have to bury her child, espe­cial­ly to sense­less vio­lence like this.”

A bail bond has not been met for Barnhill and he remains incar­cer­at­ed in a Mobile County Jail in Alabama.(AtlantaBlackStar orig­i­nat­ed this story.)

History was made in the United States on Thursday, April 7^th.….….yea… that num­ber ( 7) is the Biblical num­ber that rep­re­sents com­ple­tion. The full United States Senate con­firmed a Black woman to sit on the Nation’s high­est court.
It is a bit­ter­sweet moment for this writer in that though I am thrilled that final­ly a Black woman has been ele­vat­ed to the court, it is shame­ful that we have to be talk­ing about firsts of this kind in the 21^st century.
The num­ber sev­en is espe­cial­ly promi­nent in Scripture, appear­ing over 700 times. From the sev­en days of Creation to the many “sev­ens” in Revelation, the num­ber sev­en con­notes such con­cepts as com­ple­tion and per­fec­tion, exon­er­a­tion, heal­ing, and the ful­fill­ment of promis­es and oaths.
Whether the April 7^th full Senate con­fir­ma­tion of Ketanji Brown-Jackson is part of that Biblical com­ple­tion is up to the the­olo­gians to deci­pher; notwith­stand­ing, this writer believes the rubi­con has been crossed with her confirmation.

In a 53 to 47vote, Ketanji Brown-Jackson was con­firmed and will take her place on the court at the end of the court’s 2021 – 2022 term. Confirming supreme court jus­tices was not sup­posed to be a polit­i­cal spec­ta­cle; nei­ther was it sup­posed to be a plat­form for over­ly ambi­tious politi­cians to grand­stand and make an ass of them­selves, but over the last sev­er­al years, that is what the process has become.
Mitch McConnell’s dis­hon­esty in block­ing Merrick Garland, President Obama’s choice to replace Antonin Scalia, from enter­ing the high court may have poi­soned the process for decades to come.
Additionally, McConnell’s cor­rupt prac­tices in ram­ming through Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amey Coney-Barrett, three Trump appointees, have poi­soned the well of advice and con­sent nec­es­sary to seat good justices.

Ketanji Brown-Jackson was con­firmed with all (50) Democratic Senators; she would have been con­firmed with a sim­ple Democratic major­i­ty with Vice President Kamala Harris cast­ing the tie-break­ing vote if no Republican vot­ed for her. However, though vice President Kamala Harris was in the Senate cham­bers, three mem­bers of the Republicans placed pol­i­tics aside and cast their votes for the new justice.
Maine’s Susan Collins, Utah’s Mitt Romney & Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski vot­ed to ele­vate judge Brown-Jackson to Justice Brown-Jackson.
After the vote, the white men and women of the Fascist Republican par­ty hur­ried from the Senate cham­ber; Senator Mitt Romney stood his ground and clapped for an extend­ed peri­od along with Senate Democrats as the his­to­ry-mak­ing sig­nif­i­cance of the moment sank into members.

Along with the white men and women who vot­ed against con­firm­ing judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson are the two Republican Hispanics, Marco Rubio of Florida and Raphael Cruz of Texas.
These men are first-gen­er­a­tion Americans of Cuban par­ents; they have tak­en a hard-line stance against immi­grants and have pushed for laws that would have kept their par­ents and them­selves back in Castro’s Cuba.
Additionally, they have aligned them­selves 100 % behind every anti-black leg­is­la­tion and have gone out of their way to present them­selves as white men.
So it was no sur­prise, at least to me, that the two would toe the par­ty line and, worse. Raphael Cruz made a mock­ery of him­self by ask­ing what he thought were tough ‘gotcha’ ques­tions of the nom­i­nee, then imme­di­ate­ly going to his Twitter feed to see if his name was trending.
It is always impor­tant to remem­ber that Raphael Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The new­ly ele­vat­ed Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson is a native-born American.

Writing over the years has taught me a lot I have become more rea­soned and more reflec­tive. In the decade-long process, I have also learned that some men(gender-neutral) were born to be mere foot­notes in history.
You know.…… Rosa Parks, relevant.….Bull O’Connor, footnote.
Martin Luther King, rel­e­vant, J Edgar Hoover, footnote.
And now Ketanji Brown-Jackson, rel­e­vant, Tim Scott, irrel­e­vant footnote.
Tim Scott is the junior US Republican Senator from South Carolina; he is one of only three African-American United States Senators in the sen­ate; the oth­ers are Corey Booker (D) New Jersey and Raphael Warnock of Georgia.
Nothing pre­vent­ed Tim Scott from choos­ing the right side of his­to­ry and cast­ing a vote to ele­vate the first Black woman to the US Supreme court; Scott chose not to.
By decid­ing to oppose Brown-Jackson, Tim Scott cement­ed his entire career as a US Senator as incon­se­quen­tial, one void of any per­son­al beliefs, mak­ing him­self a sheep and a dis­grace to his race like Clarence Thomas.
Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski had a tough fight last time she was elect­ed, she will have a thought time this go around, but she was not swayed by pol­i­tics or race.…she car­ried out her duties as was demand­ed of her by the constitution.
So did Senators Mitt Romney and Susan Collins.
In typ­i­cal fash­ion, Tim Scott cement­ed him­self as an irrel­e­vant tool, an emp­ty suit, a foot­ball to be kicked around, a shame­less house slave.

New body­cam video shows the final moments of life for Antwon Cooper, 34 after he was shot in the head by police min­utes after he was pulled over for a traf­fic stop. The Miami man’s fam­i­ly says the new­ly released video shows he wasn’t armed. Miami police released a body­cam and near­by sur­veil­lance video of the dead­ly shoot­ing of the Black man on March 8. Cooper was pulled over by a Miami police officer

“They still haven’t been able to tell us what the stop was about; they just say it was some­thing with a paper tag,” said Rawsi Williams, an attor­ney rep­re­sent­ing Cooper’s family.

The inves­ti­ga­tion is still ongo­ing, but the new video shows an offi­cer approach­ing Cooper ask­ing for his license and reg­is­tra­tion. Cooper was dri­ving a friend’s car, accord­ing to Williams — although the body­cam video shows Cooper say­ing the car is his. When Cooper failed to pro­duce a license, the offi­cer asked him out of the car, but once he exit­ed the red Nissan Altima and the offi­cer began pat­ting him down, Cooper tried to run away. Bodycam video shows Cooper and the offi­cer tus­sling before the body cam­era falls off on the ground. That’s when a Miami police sergeant arrived on the scene sec­onds lat­er and opens fire, killing Cooper instantly.

Williams says the body­cam video helps counter a nar­ra­tive Cooper was armed, some­thing the fam­i­ly has always denied. “The release of the video by the Miami PD was a vin­di­ca­tion of us and a cor­rob­o­ra­tion of the facts we’ve already put out there,” Williams said.

While a gun did appear at the scene, exact­ly who it belonged to and how it got there is still unclear. Miami police have not respond­ed to request for more infor­ma­tion, but on the day of the shoot­ing, police said, “One of the two sub­jects was armed with a handgun…a hand­gun has since been recov­ered on scene.” Police ref­er­enced a pas­sen­ger in the car at the time of the traf­fic stop, who was not arrested.

As the inves­ti­ga­tion con­tin­ues into Cooper’s death, his fam­i­ly has been anguished. “It’s tear­ing me and my wife apart,” Melvin Bryant, Cooper’s grand­fa­ther, said.

“It hurts; a death is a death, but this kind of death, you can’t accept that I can’t accept that, not at all,” said Helen Bryant, Cooper’s grandmother.

Amid their grief, the Bryants say they’ve also been faced with coun­ter­ing anoth­er nar­ra­tive about their grandson’s crim­i­nal past, say­ing he’d turned his life around and had a reg­u­lar job, and his record had no bear­ing on what ulti­mate­ly took his life.

“They just want­ed to smear him like he was such a bad guy, and he wasn’t,” Helen Bryant said of her grandson’s character.

Attorney Frank Allen says Cooper’s crim­i­nal past wouldn’t mat­ter in their fight for jus­tice because the crimes com­mit­ted occurred more than a decade ago.

“Some of the stuff they’re try­ing to pig­gy­back off of in lit­i­ga­tion, that stuff isn’t even going to be admis­si­ble, so a judge isn’t going to admit it, and a judge is not going to con­sid­er it, and a jury isn’t even going to hear it,” Allen said, one of the Cooper fam­i­ly attor­neys, said.

Although the family’s attor­neys have filed a pre-suit for a wrong­ful death fed­er­al civ­il rights law­suit, claim­ing Cooper was a vic­tim of exces­sive police force, right now, the fam­i­ly says they aren’t con­cerned about lit­i­ga­tion but would rather exhaust their efforts on more imme­di­ate jus­tice against the Miami police sergeant who fired the fatal shot.

The fam­i­ly has start­ed an online peti­tion call­ing for the arrest of the sergeant.

“Our grand­son got mur­dered in the street by a cop who shot him in the head, and he laid under­neath a cov­er for sev­en hours, we’re not think­ing about a law­suit, we want jus­tice for our grand­son,” Melvin Bryant said.

“Can they give Antwon back to us? They can’t give him back to us, all the law­suits in the world can’t give him back to us,” Helen Bryant asked while lament­ing the loss of Cooper.

“He’ll nev­er be able to get mar­ried, there will be no Antwon junior, he’ll nev­er be able to have chil­dren,” Williams said of the long-last­ing impacts of the shooting.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is still inves­ti­gat­ing the case.
This sto­ry was first report­ed by Atlanta Black Star.

A fam­i­ly is left dev­as­tat­ed after a rou­tine traf­fic stop turned dead­ly for Antwon Cooper, 35, of Miami who was shot by a Miami police offi­cer at point-blank range on March 8. Police claimed Cooper had a gun, but the fam­i­ly says sur­veil­lance video from a near­by school tells a dif­fer­ent story.

Attorneys for Cooper’s fam­i­ly, Rawsi Williams and Frank Allen, say Cooper was dri­ving a red Nissan Altima that belonged to a friend, but when police ran the license plate that prompt­ed a traf­fic stop. Cooper pre­sent­ed an ID but not a driver’s license, which led to the offi­cer ask­ing Cooper to step out of the car.

“Once Mr. Cooper exits the vehi­cle, the offi­cer starts a pat-down on one side of Mr. Cooper. He reach­es out to pat down the left side, and Mr. Cooper turns to run away, but the offi­cer grabs Mr. Cooper by the shirt. He doesn’t even make it any­where,” Williams said.

As Cooper was try­ing to run away, a strug­gle ensued between hIm and the offi­cer until anoth­er sergeant arrived at the scene.

“[The sergeant] walks up to the scene, says ‘get down, get down,’ and just shoots Mr. Cooper in the head,” Williams said of the moments when the sergeant arrived.

“[The sergeant yelled] ‘Get down, get down,’ bam, at a pret­ty close prox­im­i­ty. The kid didn’t have a chance to respond,” attor­ney Frank Allen added of Cooper’s final moments.

Williams says police framed the inci­dent as if Cooper had a gun and threat­ened the offi­cers. She says she does not know who the gun belonged to but reit­er­ates that Cooper nev­er bran­dished a gun through­out the encounter.

“They put out a nar­ra­tive as if the offi­cer was forced to fire because of some kind of lethal threat by bring­ing in the word gun,” Williams said.

“Mr. Cooper was not swing­ing at this offi­cer, he was not punch­ing this offi­cer, he wasn’t kick­ing this offi­cer, he wasn’t bran­dish­ing any weapons at this offi­cer, he wasn’t point­ing a weapon at this offi­cer,” Allen said of the dead­ly police encounter.

Williams says sur­veil­lance video from a near­by school will help prove police should not have shot Cooper. “The sergeant wasn’t wear­ing a body­cam, but thank­ful­ly this occurred right out­side a school and they also had video sur­veil­lance on the out­side their school that points direct­ly at the scene where this occurred so we’ve seen that footage as well,” Williams said.

Williams says the video sur­veil­lance has not been made pub­lic yet, but a pho­to shows the end result, Cooper left lying in the street.

Atlanta Black Star sought more details from Miami police on the inci­dent, but a spokes­woman says because the case is under inves­ti­ga­tion by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and inter­nal affairs, they can­not release any information.

Cooper’s fam­i­ly just held his funer­al over the week­end. The fam­i­ly intends to file a wrong­ful death fed­er­al civ­il rights law­suit under sec­tion 1983 claim­ing Cooper was a vic­tim of exces­sive police force.

“They want the offi­cer ter­mi­nat­ed, they want the offi­cer arrest­ed and con­vict­ed for the killing of Mr. Antwon Cooper,” Williams said the fam­i­ly hopes to get out of the pend­ing lawsuit.

Cooper has a crim­i­nal record dat­ing back to 2006 which include armed bur­glary, home inva­sion, and gun charges result­ing in him serv­ing prison time. Williams says he had a job and was work­ing on turn­ing his life around before his run-in with police on March 8.

Is any­one sur­prised by these racist clowns?

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has made it known that he will vote against con­firm­ing President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court nom­i­nee Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the first Black woman to sit on the nation’s high­est judi­cial bench.
As GOP leader in the U.S. Senate, McConnell’s announce­ment was not a sur­prise to many, although Jackson most like­ly will not need his vote. McConnell claimed on Twitter on March 24 that his deci­sion was non­par­ti­san. Some say it may be because of anoth­er bias.

I went into the Senate’s con­sid­er­a­tion of Judge Jackson’s nom­i­na­tion with an open mind,” McConnell said in a March 24 tweet. “But after study­ing the nominee’s record and watch­ing her per­for­mance this week, I can­not and will not sup­port Judge Jackson for a life­time appoint­ment to our high­est Court.” Jackson was ques­tioned about her vot­ing record and sen­tenc­ing prac­tices dur­ing three days of con­fir­ma­tion hear­ings. Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz drilled Jackson about crit­i­cal race the­o­ry, which Jackson point­ed out does not relate to her work as a judge.
Cruz used the children’s book “Antiracist Baby” to ask Jackson if she thinks babies are racist. New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker applaud­ed Jackson for her resilience and grace dur­ing the ques­tion­ing and her accom­plish­ments. He brought the judge to tears as he high­light­ed the his­tor­i­cal sig­nif­i­cance of her nomination.

“I see my ances­tors and yours,” Booker said. “You have earned this spot. You are wor­thy. You are a great American.”
McConnell also voiced his oppo­si­tion on the Senate floor on the last day of the con­fir­ma­tion hear­ings, cit­ing Jackson’s non­com­mit­tal replies about whether she would sup­port a plan to add four seats to the bench. There are cur­rent­ly nine Supreme Court jus­tices. Jackson said the ques­tion is beyond “the prop­er role of a judge.”
“I assumed this would be an easy soft­ball for Judge Jackson, but it wasn’t,” McConnell said. “The nom­i­nee sug­gest­ed there are two legit­i­mate sides to the issue. She tes­ti­fied she has a view on the mat­ter but would not share it.”
Only Congress can expand the court through leg­is­la­tion. Some Democrats have pushed for the change.
McConnell also took issue with Jackson’s lack of pub­lished low­er court opin­ions in the last year. Jackson, who has been on an appeals court for only a year, report­ed­ly had pub­lished two, while oth­er recent nom­i­nees pub­lished hun­dreds lead­ing up to their nominations.

Nearly 6,000 peo­ple respond­ed to McConnell’s tweet. It was also liked by more than 45,000 peo­ple. A num­ber of peo­ple who respond­ed accused the Republican of lying about his impar­tial­i­ty. Several said they were not shocked about his deci­sion. When con­ser­v­a­tive Justice Antonin Scalia died in February 2016, McConnell led Senate Republicans to block President Barrack Obama’s pick Merrick Garland from the bench with­out first hold­ing hearings.
McConnell argued that it was too close to the November 2016 pres­i­den­tial elec­tion to con­tin­ue the process. Pundits believe McConnell did not want the Democratic pres­i­dent to nom­i­nate a liberal.
McConnell, how­ev­er, speed­ed the con­fir­ma­tion of for­mer President Donald Trump’s pick Justice Amy Coney Barrett less than two months before the 2020 pres­i­den­tial election. 
Many sug­gest­ed racism was a fac­tor. More than a dozen Twitter users respond­ed to McConnell’s tweet with a pic­ture of him accept­ing a plac­ard in front of a Confederate flag. The pho­to was alleged­ly tak­en at a Sons of Confederate Veterans event in the ear­ly ’90s.

I went into the Senate’s con­sid­er­a­tion of Judge Jackson’s nom­i­na­tion with an open mind. But after study­ing the nominee’s record and watch­ing her per­for­mance this week, I can­not and will not sup­port Judge Jackson for a life­time appoint­ment to our high­est Court.
Senate Democrats are report­ed­ly hop­ing for a full vote for Jackson’s con­fir­ma­tion next month. She needs 51 out of 100 votes to be approved for the bench. There are 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans in the U.S. Senate, and as a wild card, Vice President Kamala Harris has the tiebreak­er vote. Although it is not clear if Jackson will gar­ner any sup­port from Republicans, West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin, a key swing vote in the Senate, announced on March 25 his inten­tions to vote for Jackson, which polit­i­cal pun­dits said is a strong indi­ca­tion that she will get all of the Democrat votes.

I don’t under­stand you. You sound like my par­ents. You sound like the peo­ple I grew up with.’ But the lessons he tend­ed to draw from the expe­ri­ences of the seg­re­gat­ed South seemed to be dif­fer­ent than those of every­body I know,” Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson report­ed­ly thought while hav­ing lunch with the jus­tice Clarence TomAss as a law clerk.

Ketanji Brown Jackson was nom­i­nat­ed to fill the seat made vacant by the retire­ment of Justice Stephen Breyer. President Biden has cho­sen Breyer’s suc­ces­sor as he is oblig­at­ed to do constitutionally.
Biden pledged if elect­ed, he would appoint a Black woman to the court if a vacan­cy came up. A vacan­cy came up, and the pres­i­dent kept his word in the per­son of Ketanji Brown-Jackson.
Everyone who pays atten­tion to the racial car­ni­vores must know they would come for Jackson to eat her flesh, and so they have. There are those scat­tered across the soci­ety like the racist right-wing groups that have tak­en out adver­tise­ments prais­ing Clarence TomAss, a Black skinned sell­out who vot­ed against every issue that would uplift Black Americans from the despair and degra­da­tion of hun­dreds of years of white oppression.
For them, Clarence TomAss is a hero, but the mod­ern-day sell­out is that slave who runs and tells Massa which enslaved per­son ran away. The one who asks Massa, ” we sick Massa’?
But there are the clowns in the US Senate, begin­ning with Raphael Cruz, who hates him­self for being born Hispanic rather than a European Caucasian, Josh Hawley, who gave aid, com­fort, and suc­cor to insur­rec­tion­ists try­ing to over­throw the duly con­sti­tu­tion­al order of the United States, and should be in prison, Lindsay Graham, [trump’s] errand boy and the oth­er tad­poles like Marsh Blackburn, and Mike Braun.

It is bad enough when some­one like Clarence TomAss is ele­vat­ed to a posi­tion of pow­er, and he does every­thing with­in that pow­er to abuse any­one, much less one of the most dis­ad­van­taged com­mu­ni­ties in the coun­try, the black com­mu­ni­ty from which he came.
But it is ten times worse when some­one of TomAss’s char­ac­ter would be held up as a mod­el for Black people.
It is insult­ing to me as a Black man that I share skin col­or with some­one like Clarence TomAss. that is how much I am offend­ed by him.
The insult­ing thing to me is that any­one would dare advance Clarence TomAss as any­thing but a mod­ern Benedict Arnold, unde­serv­ing of the black skin he lives in.
Make no mis­take; I do not dis­like TomAss because his views run con­trary to mine; I detest him because he is an oppor­tunis­tic racial sell­out who has cap­i­tal­ized on the pain of his race to cur­ry favor with his oppressors.
That makes him the low­est life­form in my view.
During slav­ery, the likes of TomAss would get a few scraps of food thrown their way or may have even been allowed into the house. Harriet Tubman was afraid his type would run back to the slave-own­ers and reveal her routes and sup­port struc­ture. His type was the rea­son she report­ed­ly car­ried a pistol.
If we real­ly want to admit the truth, the likes of Clarence TomAss exist­ed on the shores of Africa, and it was his type that made the North Atlantic Slave trade a possibility.
I am not qual­i­fied to explain the psy­cho­log­i­cal dys­func­tion that goes into the char­ac­ter of some­one like that, so I leave it up to the experts to fig­ure that out. Sufficing to say that it is not an admirable trait, at least not from the per­spec­tive of pro­gres­sive Black peo­ple who val­ue their auton­o­my, agency, and freedoms.

The real­ly pathet­ic thing for white men is that with four months shy of 246 years of American nation­hood dur­ing which they slant­ed things their way, they are scared shit­less that the wall of lies they cre­at­ed are tum­bling down.
No longer does any­one buy into the pro­pa­gan­da that they alone can do it; because as long as they can­not stop us from enter­ing the pool, we will show them that we are just as good a swim­mer or bet­ter than they are.
Whether it’s med­i­cine, art, sports, law, sci­ence, or what­ev­er, they dom­i­nat­ed only because they were allowed to play alone.
One of the things I hard­ly hear any longer is the need for Black peo­ple to be patient. Dr. Martin Luther King warned about ‘the tran­quil drug of grad­u­al­ism’ before being mur­dered by them 54 years ago.
Anyone who believed that the sons and daugh­ters of rapists and mur­der­ers were going to be bet­ter human beings sim­ply because some water had flown under the bridge was grave­ly mistaken.

These are irre­deemable kinds of humans who do not pos­sess the capac­i­ty to co-exist with oth­ers or com­pete on an equal and lev­el play­ing field.
They see the winds of change, and as I said before, they are scared shit­less. If they can turn the clock back on race, you know, stop the teach­ings of their crimes against Black and Native peo­ples, burn the his­to­ry books, ban future ones on the sub­ject, stop black and brown peo­ple from enter­ing the coun­try and force white women to have more babies they see that as a solu­tion to their deplet­ing numbers.
The sad real­i­ty for them is that no sin­gle one of those things will stop the inevitable brown­ing of America, nei­ther will all of those mea­sures combined.
But if all else fails, they are pre­pared to storm the con­gress, over­throw the 246 years of estab­lished order, and insti­tute a white minor­i­ty gov­ern­ment like the one that exist­ed in South Africa.
