Democrats want us to believe that systemic racism is prevalent in every nook and cranny and every age group in America. They like to point a finger at the Right and connect all of our beliefs to racism. Blaming conservatives for being racist is their favorite line of attack, regardless of ethnic nationality or economic stature. According to Democrats, we have been racist since the first ship arrived from Africa with adult and adolescent black human beings to sell to our early settlers. Every plantation in the South had a group of slaves to cover every task, from cooking and domestic chores to farming and property maintenance. Using Black workers was a way of life in the early days of America, as in Europe and elsewhere. But we have grown and changed our ways since the 18th and 19th centuries.

Our family traveled to Florida yearly, which started before the Civil Rights Movement. We were very young, but our parents made sure we saw firsthand the living conditions of Blacks in the South, the restrooms and water bubblers designated for Whites or Blacks, and maybe worst of all, the signs that read “Blacks Not Allowed.” It was an ugly time in America, and we were taught how wrong it was for any person to be treated in such a manner. But we have grown and changed from America sixty years ago. But Democrats continue to point the finger at us, but there is a different purpose for them laying a guilt trip on Americans for the sins of the past.

Democrats believe if they can get us to focus on the false claim of racism, then they can divert our attention away from the corporate and government greed they support that is undermining the values and future of America.

Democrats talk up the New Green Deal and fresh air and water for all while they allow businesses to pollute our air and waterways with toxins that will harm or kill us.

Democrats talk about systemic racism while corrupt companies are poisoning us with chemicals in our food supply. While they have us defending ourselves from the notion that America was built on the backs of, and with the blood from slaves, they are allowing government agencies like the CDC, DHS, and FDA to misinform, misguide, and support foreign countries intent on harming America and its people.

Democrats cry racism as the Department of Education indoctrinates our children to believe that America is an evil country that must be changed while dumbing down our younger people; hence, they are easily gaslit and led.

We must disavow and destroy the smokescreen of racism and root out these corporate and government sources of corruption. Donald Trump declared at his rally in Arizona and promised that if elected, he would work with his new ally and supporter, Robert F Kennedy Jr., to do just that. This is the direction and policies we need in a President and Commander in Chief. You will not find either in Kamala Harris.
