You knew it was coming: The Democrats are playing the race card.

Joe Biden announced that the federal government is going to establish the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument, which is going to be in a few different places. The monument honors not only Emmett Till, but also his mother, who became a renowned civil rights advocate. This is a good thing.

Emmett Till was lynched after having allegedly wolf-whistled a white lady in the pre-civil rights era South. His mom courageously had an open casket at his funeral and pointed out that these are the wages of racism.

It is worth remembering the evils of American history in order to see how far we’ve come. But that’s not the real reason why Joe Biden is doing this. The real reason Joe Biden is doing this is so Joe Biden and Kamala Harris can pretend there are a bunch of Republicans who are just like the murderers of Emmett Till.

Racism is evil. The condemnation of racism should be something about which Americans are universally united. So why is this administration now using the announcement of the monument to target Ron DeSantis and Florida and falsely claim that Florida is replete with the same kind of racism?

Biden spoke about complicity in racism. This morphed very, very quickly into an attack on Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s political opponents. In his remarks about the monument, Biden said, “Hate never goes away. It just hides under the rocks. And given a little bit of oxygen by bad people, it comes roaring out again. And it’s up to all of us to deal with that, up to all of us to stop it.”

Biden says things like: “Hate doesn’t go away. It just hides under rocks.”

Racism in the United States has abated far beyond any other Western country. Look at the polling with regard to interracial marriage: It went from virtually no one in the United States being in favor of interracial marriage to virtually everyone in the United States being fine with interracial marriage.

But according to Joe Biden, racism never goes away. It just goes to hide. So what does he mean by that? The implication is that even though those evil Republicans who oppose Joe Biden won’t openly be racist, quietly, they’re very racist.

Kamala Harris said the quiet part out loud. She attacked Ron DeSantis and Florida again, saying:

Today, there are those in our nation who would prefer to erase or even rewrite the ugly parts of our past; those who attempt to teach that enslaved people benefitted from slavery; those who insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, who try to divide our nation with unnecessary debates.

That’s garbage. No one’s forgetting. Emmett Till is taught in Florida schools.

Harris says it’s unnecessary to have debates over America’s history. Oh, really? You guys are the ones who pushed the 1619 Project. You’re the ones who suggest that America’s racial history means the only solution today is “racial equity” when it comes to American government policy.

Show me the American politician of either party today who says, “I’m standing for Emmett Till’s murderers.” No one like that exists. But it doesn’t matter because Kamala Harris believes — and she wants you to believe — that deep down, Republicans are very much in favor of black people being murdered for no reason at all.

Joe Biden said, “At a time when there are those who seek to ban books, bury history, we’re making it clear — crystal, crystal clear — while darkness and denialism can hide much, they erase nothing. ... We can’t just choose to learn what we want to know. We have to learn what we should know.”

They’re such gaslighting liars. They’re such liars.

All of this is taught in Florida schools. Nothing that Ron DeSantis has signed into law in the state of Florida bars the teaching of American history.

Ep. 1775 - The Hunter Biden Sweetheart Deal Falls Apart

Hunter Biden switches his plea to “not guilty” after prosecutors and defense lawyers disagree on whether the deal immunizes him from further charges; Mitch McConnell freezes up during a presser, prompting questions about his health; and witnesses testify on the Hill about UFOs.

LISTEN NOW

On the contrary, it preserves the teaching of American history by preventing the inculcation of lies in the curriculum. Lies like, “If you are black, you are inherently victimized in the United States.” And, “If you are white, you are inherently privileged in the United States of America.” And, “All systems of power in the United States are created for the explicit promotion of white people.”

Those lies are what critical race theory teaches. That’s what they were attempting to ban in the state of Florida. The whole narrative of the Democrats is a lie. They’re liars and it’s disgusting.

There is no disagreement in the United States about the evils of American history when it comes to racism and white supremacy. There’s no disagreement about that.

The only disagreement is that Democrats say that white supremacy is still there, lurking underneath America’s surface, and that all of America’s key institutions, from capitalism to the meritocracy, have been infused by that evil racism. Thus, if you oppose the democratic agenda, you are a white supremacist. Secretly, you’re in league with Emmett Till’s murderers.

That’s the case they’re trying to make.

It’s so disgusting. It’s so clearly disgusting.
