Did you see the man seeking liberty and freedom for all Americans proudly carried a confederate flag through the Capital building on January 6, 2020. See for yourself here.

Racism is alive and well in the U.S.
While we may not have the power to eliminate racism entirely, we could be the generation that disempowers it.
Unconditional Respect and uncompromising intolerance are key.
Respect the person who is racist but do not tolerate the racism.
These words spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. three weeks before his assassination are as true today as they were 50 years ago.
“...There must be a recognition on the part of everybody in this nation that America is still a racist country. Now however unpleasant that sounds, it is the truth. And we will never solve the problem of racism until there is a recognition of the fact that racism still stands at the center of so much of our nation and we must see racism for what it is... It is the notion that one group has all of the knowledge, all of the insights, all of the purity, all of the work, all of the dignity. And another group is worthless, on a lower level of humanity, inferior.”
