Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

Re-reposting 9 days later because Black History Month. Black history is not some special-interest side room to American history. It is central—to every aspect of our past. Black people changed things profoundly for you, whoever you are, in aspects of your life you may take for granted.
