lies and omissions

so much of the ugliness of America is the lies and omissions of truths of our history. Every day one can uncover the powerful and their obvious hypocrisy. It is truths such as these Sally Hemmings-type truths that DeSantis and his ilk are trying to prevent becoming the historical record of America. The white supremacy movement in this country needs to be slapped down and left in the gutter. White nationalism is not what I want to see ever again in the White House.

My thought is that this sh*t happened all the time. Just not always at such high levels.

Didn't Strom Thurmond do crap like this?
