The administration’s base, built on resentment and exclusion, was destined to be turned upon, just as Black America had experienced time and again. The nightmare that Black America warned about is no longer confined to their community—it has become a shared reality for many. Black Americans know America—not just its ideals, but its realities. Some still find a way to blame Black Americans, while demanding they enter the fight to free America from herself. Black Americans will continue to protect themselves as they always have while moving their community forward.
