1. Exactly: we SHOULD talk about racism. But we should affirm that Republicans AMPLIFY racism.

We should definitely talk about racism. Because racism is a big problem in America.

But we should be careful who we blame. We need to be clear that the Republican Party has been amplifying racism in America for forty years. And that the GOP propaganda machine - Fox, Limbaugh, Sinclair, Breitbart, etc. - INTENTIONALLY AMPLIFIES racism to get votes for GOP billionaires.

This is not a black vs. white issue. This is a black-and-white-progressive vs GOP-and-white-racist issue.

The GOP wants to make the race debate about black vs. white. They want to divide black people from their Democrat progressive white allies. We cannot let them do this.

The GOP is the party of racism. We can't forget this.
