Racism in the United States has been widespread since the colonial era. Legally or socially sanctioned privileges and rights were given to white Americans but denied to all other races. The KKK, white mobs and other white supremacist groups have killed more Americans than terrorist have. The KKK may have given up their sheets for suites and changed their name to the alt-right or other names to hide who they are, but at their core, they are white people who hate black people, people whose skin is not white and Jews. White Racist Have Been Killing and Terrorizing Black People for Over 150 Years; if black lives mattered in America, the KKK and other white supremacist groups would be branded as the domestic terrorist groups they are and government resources would be devoted to combating them. #WhiteSupremacist, #WhiteNationalist, #RightWingExtremists, #KKK,#Racism, #Hate

MAGA supporters spoke out in defense of Vice President JD Vance after he used Minnesota's old flag at a press conference despite criticisms that it is racist.

Writing on BlueSky, Ana Marie Cox noted that Vance's podium was "flanked by steroidal SUVs declaring 'Protect the Homeland' and the *old* Minnesota flag."

"Reclaiming the old racist flag has become a pathetic cause for the most loser dead-enders out there, so of course Vance plays along," Keith Harris observed.

Many MAGA fans — like Mike Lindell — have called Minnesota's new banner an "Islamic flag."
Display at President’s House site, residence to George Washington, had information on people enslaved by him

Philadelphia is taking legal action against the Trump administration following the National Park Service’s decision to dismantle a long-established slavery-related exhibit at Independence National Historical park, which holds the former residence of George Washington.

The city filed its lawsuit in federal court on Thursday, naming the US Department of Interior and its secretary, Doug Burgum, the National Park Service, and its acting director, Jessica Bowron, as defendants. The lawsuit seeks a court order requiring the exhibits to be restored while the case proceeds.

The display stood at the President’s House site, once home to George Washington and John Adams, and included information recognizing people enslaved by Washington, along with a broader chronology of slavery in the US.

“The interpretive displays relating to enslaved persons at President’s House are an integral part of the exhibit and removing them would be a material alteration to the exhibit,” city lawyers wrote in the legal filing. According to the suit, officials were not informed in advance that the exhibit would be changed.
During the Bosnian War, Sarajevo wasn’t just besieged—it was hunted. This documentary exposes the so-called “Sarajevo Hunting Club,” a shadowy group accused of turning civilian killings into organized sport under the chaos of war. Drawing from survivor testimony, military records, and postwar investigations, it reveals how ideology, revenge, and impunity combined to erase moral boundaries. Even decades later, accountability remains elusive, and many of those involved were never brought to justice.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A federal judge warned Justice Department lawyers on Friday that they were making “dangerous” and “horrifying” statements when they said the Trump Administration can decide what part of American history to display at National Park Service sites.

The sharp exchange erupted during a hearing in Philadelphia over the abrupt removal of an exhibit on the history of slavery at the site of the former President’s House on Independence Mall.

The city, which worked in tandem with the park service on the exhibit two decades ago, was stunned to find workers this month using crowbars to remove outdoor plaques, panels and other materials that told the stories of the nine people who had been enslaved there. Some of the history had only been unearthed in the past quarter-century.

“You can’t erase history once you’ve learned it. It doesn’t work that way,” said Senior U.S. District Judge Cynthia Rufe, an appointee of President George W. Bush.

The removal followed President Donald Trump’s executive order “restoring truth and sanity to American history” at the nation’s museums, parks and landmarks. In Philadelphia, the materials were put in a pickup truck and then into storage, leading Rufe to voice concerns about whether they were damaged.

Jesse Watters was slammed by viewers for being "dumb" after one of his guests embarked on a racist rant.

The Fox News anchor was joined by Republican strategist Caroline Sunshine on his show as they discussed Hollywood star Sydney Sweeney and her refusal to conform to what Hollywood wants from her.

Sunshine then embarked on a rant about former First Lady Michelle Obama as she slammed her for discussing racism on a recent podcast.

It comes after a Fox News turned on Donald Trump as a guest fumed 'that's no excuse'

Obama has regularly raised the topic of racism and her struggles as a woman of color, something which appears to have irked Sunshine considerably.

Speaking to Watters she said, "I love seeing our first lady, rather than, I saw a clip the other day of Michelle Obama, on a podcast, complaining about how hard it is to be a black woman and I thought, wasn't Michelle Obama First Lady like a decade ago?
When Donald Trump most recently ran for president, he made scores of promises to the American people — but he’s only kept one.

In 2024, political pundits and operatives saw affordability as the key issue of the presidential campaign. Trump certainly played it up: On the campaign trail, he pledged that he would bring down inflation and make groceries cheaper again, and when he won, observers credited that strategy for his victory.

One year into his second term, his approval numbers are in the tank, and inflation persists.

But that’s because the president’s real campaign promise wasn’t about the economy. Instead, it was all about racism.

He spouted dehumanizing lies about immigrants, dabbled in eugenics and pledged to conduct mass deportations. “When I win on November 5, the migrant invasion ends, and the restoration of our country begins,” Trump said at a rally in October 2024.

When he got back to the White House, he immediately began delivering on both the explicit promises and the tacit implications.

In the last year, Trump has deported immigrants without so much as a trial, defunded government programs dedicated to diversity and inclusion, and deployed thousands of federal agents to blue cities to wreak havoc on people of color and their allies.

“This is the government weaponizing the social and political views of the president,” William Roberts, the senior vice president for rights and justice at the Center for American Progress, a think tank that promotes liberal policies, told HuffPost.

“It’s not just ‘Donald Trump is a racist,’” Roberts said. “It’s Trump’s government engaging in policy-making to harm certain people.”
