DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: But over the last week, the Democrats held the darkest and angriest and gloomiest convention in American history. They spent four straight days attacking America as racist and a horrible country that must be redeemed.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: I mean, I guess what else would he say? I wonder what you make of it.

(CNN commentator) NINA TURNER: You're reading my mind, Anderson. I mean, because he does need to be redeemed. I don't which convention he was look at though. But this country needs to be redeemed. This country is racist. It's rooted in racism.

When we talk about immigration, it's a country founded on the back and blood and sweat and tears of enslaved Africans and in the first generation born of African-Americans for generations.

It is a nation that stole the land from indigenous people.

Come on. We're trying to get to the high ideas but we're not there yet.

So, I'm not surprised President Trump would paint the Democratic convention in that way. That is what he does. He is delusional if he thinks it's rewriting revisionist histories.

We have an opportunity, if it is taken, to show that the Democratic Party will be the answer to the corporate interests.

There are 12 billionaires who are at $2 trillion. They control a trillion worth of wealth. Meanwhile, back on Main Street, people are catching all kinds of hell.

So, we're going to stand up for the poor, working poor and barely middle class. And it's better than how the BLM are quoting or mentioning Ella Baker's name. It is living up to the high ideas and the principals by which the freedom fighters fought for.

Dear CNN;

How many lives of Union soldiers does it take to redeem the sins of slavery?

Other Union Deaths*: Over 250,000

(*Other Deaths include, among others: disease (by far the most common cause of death), accidents, drowning, heat stroke, suicide, murder, execution.)

I am pretty sure that I went over 30 years without saying the “N” word.
