It is kind of remarkable how people like Trump and Elmo somehow manage to think that if you say something in public it CAN’T be held against you in a civil or criminal case. I mean, I guess recent history shows they’re right in practice, but it’s a remarkably stupid thing to actually believe.

And I’m sure we’ll be treated to the “I wasn’t threatening workers; I was just saying illegally firing workers is awesome and I also happen to be running for president.” It’s par for the course for the “We don’t want to oppress Black people; we just talk constantly about how this country was awesome when it did oppress Black people” party.
Well there is proof of the oppression of Black people. 1619 was when folks even those of African descent were indentured servants. but later on in the mid 1660's there was the beginning of chattel slavery one man was made a slave for life in Virginia. then gradually over time laws were made to oppress the enslaved, you can Google it. this gradual thing made it necessary to have the Civil War to end it. and it still continued. because people felt entitled to oppress people of African decent. so this is not recent.. it has been ongoing
Look up miscegenation laws, when the house of Burgesses let white men off the hook for having to take finanicial care of their illegitimate kids (only the black ones), when was it that the race of the mother determined the status of the child from birth, it began in Virginia and then the other states colonies copied these things.. Loving vs Virginia was the end of miscegenation. and one man a white poor one was caught being in love with a Black woman after that law and was beaten in public..
In researching one of my ancestors a prominent man in Virginia some years ago in 2011, I began to be guided to google these things that I had no idea existed. But it made me see what people who broke these laws could have risked to love another person of a different ethnicity.

That’s a good way to put it!
Oh, proud; we need to get you on the prosecution team when it comes time for the trial(s)...for opening and closing arguments at least!
HA if there’s such a thing as the opposite of a lawyer, it’s me. You want me in the press conferences at the end of each court day, though.
Oh, yes, definitely!

The first Black man enslaved for life was John Punch.
