** Does America Suffer from an 'Emotional Illness' on Race? ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
** By Lauri Regan / March 3, 2020 / American Thinker ([link removed])

"Last Wednesday, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing on "Voter Suppression in Minority Communities: Learning from the Past to Protect Our Future ([link removed]) ." The hearing was based on the premise that "today, many Americans — especially those in minority communities — face significant barriers to registering to vote and casting a ballot."
One witness, civil rights activist Diane Nash, delusionally claimed ([link removed]) that America "was founded on genocide," which was an "extremely fundamental institution in our history." She went on to state that "we look on the value of lives of Europeans and white Americans and Australians and maybe Israelis as much more valuable than the lives of people who are Asian, African, and Latin American."
First, as an American Jew, I take issue with the loose use of the term "genocide" to describe America's founding. The Holocaust was a genocide; Rwandans faced a genocide, as did the Armenians. But even if you agree with Ms. Nash, what occurred 300 years ago in the Americas is not something that was foundational to our founding and is not enshrined in our Constitution today. Today, our history books — until now, with the New York Times attempting to rewrite history with its 1619 Project — accurately portray what was done to American Indians and slaves. Despite Nash's claims otherwise, we do in fact acknowledge our historical mistakes."
