Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist

The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. Among the anticipated changes? No longer calling his murderer a “racist.”

Edits to the brochure have removed that reference to Byron De La Beckwith, according to Park Service officials, who asked not to be named for fear of retribution. Other edits include eliminating the reference to Medgar Evers lying in a pool of blood after being shot.

1. Trump is a Klansman

2. Trump's daddy was arrested at a Klan rally in New York and

is suspected of being a Klan member. Daddy seems to have inflicted all his horrid qualities on the son. What did folks think was going to happen when Donnie arrived a position of unquestioned authority?

If you think that's awful, remember there are AT LEAST three more years of this to go. Remember also that your fellow citizens elected this asshole to the highest office in the land. Twice. Speaks volumes about what America is and who Americans are.

Oh, and if you think there's going to be justice in the Epstein mess, remember that Trump's grandaddy trafficked women from the lower 48 to Alaska for the brothel he kept there during the gold rush. The money granddad "earned" from pimping out women paid for the real estate that founded the family empire.

3. Never mind the fact that Byron De La Beckwith is on record saying wildly racist stuff

In addition to the fact he was a freaking Klansman


This move by this putrid administration is appalling.

4. Fact is, Trump has been on a mission

to remove, obscure, and ERASE Black history, Black people in general, from monuments, cemeteries, websites, informative and commemorative displays, etc. from DAY ONE.

Including this:

US removal of panels honoring Black soldiers at WWII cemetery in the Netherlands draws backlash - AP

But he doesn't mind running about restoring the names of treasonous Confederates to whatever.

(fkr can't drop dead soon enough for my druthers.)

5. Neighbors could put up their own signs.

6. The same white supremacy that killed Evers is the same white supremacy trying to cover up his murder with lies.
