John --
The Republican Party needs a reality check. Last week, Senator Lindsey Graham told Fox News during an interview that systemic racism doesn't exist in this country because a Black man was elected president and a woman of color is our current vice president. He blamed racial tensions on a few “bad actors.”
Really, Senator Graham? You don't have to look hard to find that most of America's pressing problems -- from lead poisoning our water supplies to the lack of affordable housing and health care to the rise in hate crimes -- all disproportionately affect people of color.
To ignore these problems is to bury your head in the sand on the issue of race in America.
What's even more outrageous is that the vice president that Sen. Graham mentioned -- Vice President Kamala Harris -- won an election that many in the Republican Party don't believe was legitimate. Why? Because of the Big Lie pushed by Sen. Graham and his Republican colleagues.
Lindsey Graham clearly isn't up to the task of working to bridge the racial divide in America. He might not be up for election until 2026, but many of his like minded colleagues are up next year. We need to kick them out of office to begin to heal as a nation.
