I've had up close and personal experience with this level of racist thought and action back in the 60's. I never thought we'd see it as rampant again but here it is. This has been coming and with all the police brutality and murders recently it's pretty clear someone wants that race war.

We need to pull together and stop this, NOW!

Keep talking!

Thanks for this OP!
