The real America

-

No country could be a “White Supremacy” country where 350,000 White Union soldiers died and hundreds of thousands more maimed fighting against and defeating slavery in a Civil War.

The 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, abolishing slavery, allowing Blacks to become citizens, and allowing Blacks to vote, which were passed by an all-white Congress, could not be a “White Supremacy” country.

No country that abolished Jim Crow Laws, and overcame segregatio­n, could be White Supremacis­t.

America passed the Fair Housing Act, Civil Rights

Laws, equal protection under the law, rights to public education, rights to use public facilities, rights to a fair trial and so many other rights which protect all races.

Our society has spent $60 billion over the past 50 years to improve the inner cities and black communitie­s.

Barack Obama won two elections for president and received 47% of the white vote while

Mitt Romney received, only 7% of the black vote.

With thousands of Black lawyers, judges, state attorney generals, mayors, Congressme­n and Senators, chiefs of police, military officers, news anchors, journalist­s, successful businessme­n, doctors, CEOs, high techies, wealthy superstar entertaine­rs, sports stars and television hosts, America is not “White Supremacis­t.” — Ronald Lomanto, Monterey

In an event for the Democratic party in NYC a few days ago, Joe Biden said on behalf of his administra­tion that “(Global warming is) the single-most existentia­l threat to humanity we've ever faced, including nuclear weapons.” Seriously? Seems they forgot about Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
