For next year, the days chosen seem to fall in line with the Trump administration's "America-first" policies.
A journalist self-censored 'racist' to the regime-approved synonym "America-first".
There's no way to connect this to other policies except 'shitting on black people in the most petty way possible'.
God damn that's blatant. Hey journalist, what about MLK Day is not "America-first"?
Hey, at least they put it in quotes, the way this adimiatration works they'd probably deport the reporter for saying he was racist.
Jesus the racism is thick in here
Gotta throw some red meat to the base every few days to keep his polls up.
Ackshully, it's racist against white people to celebrate holidays dedicated to black people!
/s
Imagine being so racist that you'd rather stick it to black people than do something nice for free.
Republicans have an inherent belief that everything is zero-sum. If someone is getting something discounted, then they must be losing something or paying extra in exchange.
Conversely, if a minority is losing out, then you are WINNING!
Arkansas had made Robert E Lee Day the same as MLK Day. He has zero connection to the date, it was just out of spite.
But did they at least make it free to enter parks on Robert e Lee day?
I mean it's gross at the start but I'm more appalled at willing to pay to be racist.
I imagine that all racists are like that
No need imagining.. they are
This is actually why a lot of public schools are so poorly funded now. Back in the civil rights era, white families who could afford it sent their kids to private schools after desegregation, where their schools could still be segregated (because they didn't receive federal funds). The white people who couldn't send their kids off to private or religious schools decided that "if we have to share space with black folk, we'll just drag our formerly-white schools down to the level that black schools were at". Cue a generation or two growing up with poorly-funded schools and it turns rapidly into a tradition - "we've always had low taxes from the school district, why do we need to increase it half a mill".
Man, how can someone be the president of the united states and still be SUCH A FUCKING LOSER. May history shit all over the Trump name.
White supremacist trash
Just to clarify… if you voted for Trump, you support racist agendas, which in turn, make you racist…. That’s my Ted talk for today.
Trump is a byproduct of US politics and capitalism, supporting either supports this racist agenda
Black folks that voted for him and Republicans all I have to say is, 😂😂😂😂😂
He's just so petty.
Perfectly on-brand: He got what he needed, so now fuck you.
Fee-fee days? Hubba hubba!
“Americans allow Trump admin to remove MLK day, Juneteenth from National Parks fee-free days”
