The #Emmys countdown clock of winners' speeches + reduction of funds for a poor nonprofit organization that supports children is TERRIBLE. These actors have worked so hard, let them have a moment to thank people without feeling like they're robbing the Boys & Girls Club. Distasteful and awful.

It’s not “Black history”, it’s American history! But this administration is bending over backwards to label anything that isn’t white male as “DEI” or “woke”.
Frederick Douglass was a writer, diplomat, advisor to President Lincoln and American hero.
The Maryland National Guard is declining to march in the annual Douglass parade in his native Talbot County this year because he was Black and the DoD no longer does Black history
