There is nothing racist writing history as it happens not as some "whitewash" idea of it.

It's saddening to see this guy say such racist things about the Republican party. I guess he thinks he's being funny. He seems determine to be a victim. Granted there remain great challenges in achieving equality. But his anger is off putting.
