"Welcome to the Republicans' White Pride rally disguised as a congressional hearing.”

 Some days there isn’t enough to write about. Other days…

The broadside came moments after Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) accused the Smithsonian of pushing "a racial narrative that divides Americans by their skin color and by guilt."

"Is that what you care about?" Boebert demanded. "Just racism and making people feel guilty?"

"Welcome to the Republicans' White Pride rally disguised as a congressional hearing," Crockett told the subcommittee.

"It might be uncomfortable for some people on this committee… but facts are facts," she continued. "And it's a fact that there is a violent, exclusionary, discriminatory, sexist, and racist part of American history."

She then ticked through what that history looked like — indigenous populations forcibly displaced from their land, thousands of Black people unjustly lynched, Black voters denied the ballot, and four little Black girls murdered by the Ku Klux Klan at Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church in 1963.

"Attacks on the Smithsonian or any other institution that's willing to tell the true history of America is not only an attempt to rewrite history," Crockett said. "It's an attempt to erase history."

"I don't understand this fetish that these white guys with fragile egos have with trying to feel oppressed," she added.

I read that right after reading this:

Revert Louisiana to territorial status, we've suffered enough.

That set me thinking about New Orleans which, after the Civil War, tried to delete racism by encouraging “interracial” marriages, which would produce children neither “black” nor “white,” and begin to erase racial barriers. Instead it created legal terms for “mulatto” and “quadroon” and “octaroon,” as well as the “one drop rule” and the extra legal but widely applied “paper bag test.”

The “racial narrative that divides Americans by their skin color and by guilt” is as American as violence and cherry pie. And we have to teach it so that we see it clearly.

250 years of racist imbeciles is enough. I mean, they breed like rabbits, you know?
