The GOP leadership voted to acquit the cult leader of racism.

America's abject racism is laid bare before the world.

The world watched the torture and murder of George Floyd and white supremacists try to overthrow a legal election to make way for a racist dictator. Then the disgusting debacle from yesterday.

I too am ashamed of this country. And of white people who have let all of this continue.

"POC, show us the way to a more perfect union." YES
