Duh. Of course, but that's our history, and every nation has a history. The difference is we have a platform for equality, fairness, and equity. Most nations do not. We've moved beyond our past, and though there is more to do, we're ahead of almost any nation on Earth
We must speak this truth: the very foundation of our country was built on the backs of enslaved people.

The platform is corrupt. The idea of justice and equality in America is a joke in terms of execution. It sounds good but, that’s not what it really is. 1619-2019 what has really changed?

One of the pieces in this Sunday’s
#NYTMagazine focused on this country’s version of capitalism & it’s DIRECT link to slavery (8/20/1619 was the date slaves were first brought to America). Your recent embrace of capitalism must connect those dots!!https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/slavery-capitalism.html …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better.

A patriot doesn't defend a song or a flag. A patriot is one who defends the Constitution which includes the First Amendment.
