WOW — @Hillsdale’s David Azerrad: “History is constantly being rewritten to magnify beyond all reasonable proportions the contributions of Black Americans.”🤔

Belittles George Washington Carver & the “Hidden Figures” mathematicians. Nice, @GovBillLee.

When they see the extraordinary contribution of African-Americans despite the oppression and repression.

Music
Education
Dance
Sports
Fiction
Film....


And there's the scary realization that whenever black people decide to try something, they get real good real quick--
Black Women Sweep US Gymnastics Championship

Angry, resentful, insecure people tend to denigrate what they fear most.

When white supremacists start to hear what the accomplishments of black people actually are, it seems overwhelming, I guess.

Likewise with what women have contributed over the centuries. The toxic masculinity crowd can't handle it when it starts to come to light.

That they once loved and donated to and went back for homecoming.

They both (independently-- they don't know each other) have decided recently that they will never donate to their "too liberal" alma maters (neither of which is liberal in any real sense), and instead will both donate to Hillsdale.

Obviously this college is specifically soliciting donations from the more educated Trumpers.

Set up a boiler room operation in downtown. Just announced they want to buy about a third of the downtown. Will soon have employees or grads in 3 of 5 positions on city council. Already own the Mayor. Had a Nazi on school board forced a by all accounts great head librarian out. Didn't want kids to learn about 2020 election among other icky things.
