She-Said: Don, I’m not a racist “MAGA” Hat-Wearing bigot! I do agree with the voices that are against teaching “The Critical Race Theory”. It has no place in sculpting young minds! The U.S.A. is the greatest, most powerful country in the world. We arguably have the most successful democratic society in mankind’s history.

Having been able to continually discriminate against Black people and to deny them their inalienable rights, Republicans and white supremacists were content with America’s democracy. Now the threat of losing their political power has turned them against Democracy. As the idiom says, evil past deeds will cause Chickens to Come Home to Roost.” In other words, this Nation just may reap what it sowed.
