The government under President Donald Trump is bending the arc of US history in a new direction, away from the civil rights focus of the past 60 plus years.

Just 10 years ago the US was still seen as being progressive and racism was slowly becoming a thing of the past… and not even in 10 years all the major civil rights achievements of rhe past 70 years are being thrown out so fast it is making my head spin.

    …you do know the reason that the US has a large black population right?

    I’m Canadian and not shading on diversity at all but just because we have a lot of different cultures mixing together doesn’t make anyone ‘better’. There are reasons we are as diverse as we are, and most of those reasons are historically very, very bad.
