BTW I think Williams was absolutely fabulous, I am a big fan (pure Americana--the kind Europeans artsy Europeans adore ) glad to see all the buzz he is getting the last few years, and especially from Getty Research and USC acquiring the archive and promoting more research.

Out in the real world, Biden

Out in the real world, Biden recognizes white supremacy

Trump released the 1776 Commission report which down played slavery and the Civil Rights movement

The report was so filled with lies that multiple historians complained

Biden removed the report from the White House website

The only thing some have left is to make statements aimed at making heads explode

The rants turn out to be very amusing

In a year when the President tried to arrange a military coup, rescinding the law that the Secretary of Defense should be a civilian seems a poor idea, whatever the perceived racial progress upsides. (I thought Colin Powell checked the main black-head-of-military box decades ago)

^ just curious how this vote fits into the "America is a systemically racist country" narrative to the world, after V.P. Harris, Pres. Obama for 8 years, and forbears Colin Powell and Condolezza Rice as Sec. State, etc. If you see something along the lines of them all being Uncle and Aunt Tom, say something, I'm interested in the twists of that narrative...

Retired Gen. Lloyd Austin confirmed by overwhelming vote in the Senate to be Defense Secretary, making him the first black man to hold that position.
