Donald Trump ordered keep Slavery Exhibits at President’s House
Donald Trump would like America to bury its head in the sand and forget about it this country has committed generational atrocities against Black people. If he had his way, the only thing that would be publicly mentioned about this United States is that “it is the greatest country in the world” (where immigrants are not welcome).
Fortunately, this country is not an oligarchy and Donald Trump is not a king. Here we have checks, balances and a legal system that (sometimes) acts in the best interest of the people, not the agenda of a white supremacist.
POLITICS reports that a federal judge in Philadelphia has decided that the slavery exhibits in the House of the President, the ones that Trump ordered removed, should be returned to their rightful places in the House of the People.
Judge Cynthia Rufe didn't mince words or bite her tongue once in her damning 40-page opinion:
“The government here too claims that truth is no longer self-evident, but rather the property of the elected chief magistrate and his appointees and delegates,” wrote appointee George W. Bush. “And why? Only because, as suspects say, it has the power.”
“An agency … cannot arbitrarily decide what is true, based on its own whims or the whims of the new leadership,”
That's hard, but oh, so accurate.
The administration did not immediately respond to Rufe's statement; however, Trump previously called for all public monuments to be “uplifting”, to whom he did not say, but it is safe to assume that he did not mean Black people.
In fact, Trump said slavery exhibits painted America as…
“inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irreparably defective.” Such exhibits promote “a sense of national shame,” Trump complained.
Well, if America didn't want to be perceived that way, then perhaps the founding fathers, who are so revered by conservative white men, should think more deeply about the morality of slavery.
