    The United States has a very long history of mistreating Black soldiers and their families after they serve and even die for this country.

        Because Trump's supporters struggle to separate white supremacy, patriotism, and evangelicalism they chose him over this Gold Star family.

        My great-great uncle was lynched in his WWI uniform. Whites felt he'd become too uppity as he would no longer respond to the word "boy".

        Do you ever say anything positive? Or do you always try to the light the fire of divisiveness?
