Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

President Trump’s original decision to hold his Tulsa rally on June 19 was just the latest racist dog whistle to sound, and resound, from his administration.

If he were a different kind of president, he could have kept that date to lead white people at a rally in celebrating Juneteenth along with Black Americans.

He could use the opportunity to acknowledge, denounce, and deplore the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, in which a white mob terrorized and murdered Black people and burned and looted what may have been the wealthiest Black community in the United States.

He could urge all white people in this country to look into their hearts, reconsider their habitual thoughts and behaviors, and resolve not only to believe in equality but to act to bring about equality.

No one, least of all our president, can imagine he would do any of this.

I weep for our country.

Note from KBJ: Stop being melodramatic, Sue. Donald Trump is the least racist president we have had, and that includes Barack Hussein Obama, who, as you know, descends from slaveowners. If Donald Trump had scheduled his rally for Juneteenth, you'd be the first to condemn him for insensitivity. Heads Sue wins; tails Trump loses. Get some help for your derangement.

Donald Trump's approval rating is 47%. Barack Obama's approval rating at the same point of his presidency (18 June 2012) was 46%.

…Based on decisions being rendered now, this list is more important than ever before (Second Amendment, Right to Life, Religous Liberty, etc.) – VOTE 2020!

Re: June 6 article, “Harris GOP chairman-elect ripped for MLK quote, banana.”

Four Texas GOP county chairpersons are being admonished for their racist social media posts. The posts were amazingly egregious, as though these officials could speak openly within the safe haven of their Republican readers. Yet, when these quotes are publicly reported, Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Sen. Ted Cruz are momentarily outraged.

Where is this outrage when it comes to President Donald Trump? The list of Trump’s racist behavior is long, equally egregious, and continues today. Racist statements, including support of white supremacists, are clearly a part of Trump’s election strategy. Yet, Texas Republican leaders remain mute, fearing the power of the tweet.

We hear that “this time feels different.” The battle against racism in America may have turned a corner, but we have a long way to go. It will take all of us to win this battle and it will only happen if Republicans drain their own swamp and take positive action.
