108. I find it invigorating but slightly embarrassing that the only cohesive
group to stand up to the first coup d'etat in this country is the African American community. I am proud of their stand in the joint session of congress where they bravely fought back against the coup but couldn't get a single senator to sponsor their protest. Michael Moore did a great job of showing the courage, their fearlessness, their outrage and their grace.

I am ashamed of my race for capitulating in a coup of a government my forebears had a hand in creating.

The NAACP is merely speaking out against the tyrant who stole the office of president. They know to a certainty that a large part of his base views Smirk's anti-black policies and biases as their favorite part of his administration. They are outraged and they show it.

I am extremely proud of the African Americans in this country who stood up to the pretender to the throne, continue to do so to this day, and will brook no lip from the monkey in the WH.
