I doubt if it “offended” anybody. It just negates what he’s been preaching about for a decade, i.e., 100% merit and 0% focus on skin color.

How about decreeing White History Month, and naming accomplished white folk?

That would really be divisive according to what you said before.

Right. I was being sarcastic, in an attempt to make a point.

Yep. It was speech in 1851. I think the title was something like “What Does the Fourth of July Mean to a Slave”. That was eighteen years after Britain had abolished slavery throughout their empire. I picked it up for an essay I wrote saying that the troubles we have gotten into as a country come from ignoring the principles of our founding.

“I use /s .”

I usually do, too. If using my Win. 10 system, my eyeroll emoji is handy. If my Win. 7 no emojis (that I know of). and try to remember to do the /s. 😊

Yes.

I haven’t seen any liberal objections to his list but I’m sure there were.

“American heroes such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Thomas Sowell, Justice Clarence Thomas,....”. Oh yeah, they won’t like that. Great dig, Mr. President.

Nicely done Mr. President.

Years ago I read a short book on the relationship between he and Lincoln. I have wanted to read it again and must have loaned it out. Now I write down names and dates so I can get books back.
