Just watched Till and then tuned-in to a Washington Journal segment where a woman told Toure "we" are tired of being called racist and then referred to him as "you people". OMG---that's it in a nutshell!

The racists, misogynists, and fascists do not like being shamed and labeled. Pride and arrogance---that IS what gave us Reagan and Trump. Some Americans do not want to look into the mirror to see how badly we've aged in these important matters.

After the onslaught of money put into hate radio, hate TV, and hateful think-tanks, people on the right were empowered to start the name-calling and to even do more killing. We did not label them or call them names for the many years before and during the time it took for them to reveal themselves.

The Republicans have grown to hate the truth. They hate anyone trying to tell it, but I HAVE to. They hate us for fighting back, but we MUST.

I have forwarded to my 17 yr granddaughter and 20 yr old grandson. Theirs is the generation that needs to know their own history.
