yesterday, today and tomorrow. YES!!!!! My POTUS and FLOTUS are two of the most human and graceful leaders I have seen in my life. Yet because of their brown skin, MANY ignorant racist pigs want to diminish their worth. How very sad.
And as an aside, the WHITE bomber crews requested/demanded those Tuskegee airmen, because they NEVER lost a plane they were escorting.
I won't go on because my anger and disgust is growing and I don't want to offend the sensibilities of some enablers on here.
FLOTUS is saying it here with much more grace than I feel at the moment. Politics aside, they are two exemplary human beings, outshining ANY that have occupied that high office in generations and I wish Michelle would run for POTUS. She wouldn't win of course. The RW media and politicians have had too much experience in poisoning the minds of amerikkkans against minorities these last 6+ years. A woman that is a POC? Running for the WH, again??? Get ready for the tears from those who want THEIR WH back...again.. The racists would have conniption fits and would take to the streets like Rosewood(1923) and Tulsa(1921) to name just two of many white uprisings against blacks in america.
