[IM2]

BUILDING ON A LEGACY OF SUPPORT: President Trump is committed to elevating HBCUs as beacons of educational excellence and economic opportunity, building on transformative actions from his first term.

• President Trump relocated the Federal HBCU Initiative to the White House to ensure direct oversight and prioritization, and will once again locate it there.
• President Trump signed the FUTURE Act into law, securing $255 million in permanent annual funding for HBCUs and increasing funding for Federal Pell Grants.
• President Trump authorized more than $100 million for scholarships, research, and centers of excellence at HBCU land-grant institutions.
• President Trump provided $322 million in hurricane-related relief to four HBCUs in 2018 so they could fully focus on educating their students.
• President Trump ensured that faith-based HBCUs received equal access to Federal support.

Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Promotes Excellence and Innovation at HBCUs

You know, cause racist and stuff.

Trump tried to zero out HBCU money, and the CBC stopped him. Biden invested 16 billion into HBCUs. Stop trying to make Trump what he isn't. Trump is a racist and that's just the way it is. Period.

Why haven't you answer my retort to your Medgar Evans scree?

<~~~~~~~~~~.
Hmm.....!, The killer of Medgar Evans was Byron De La Beckwith, a member of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
In 1967, Beckwith ran for Lieutenant Governor of Mississippi in the Democratic primary. At that time, the Democratic Party was the dominant political force in the Deep South.
Beyond the KKK, Beckwith was also a member of the White Citizens' Council and later became a leader in the Phineas Priesthood, a violent offshoot of the White Supremacist Christian Identity movement.
Why is it you keep digging that hole you've made deeper and deeper?

Today, Mississippi is a Republican state. This shit is old. Today's Republican party is the old Dixiecrats and racists. That's why you guys try restoring memories f the Confederacy. So you can stop trying this tactic.

This is not fake news. It is a fact you can find if you go look at the federal budget sheet from Trump's first term.

 

[BackAgain]

I would venture a guess.

The KKK scumbag who murdered Medgar Evers was very clearly about as rabidly racist as anyone could be.

And, yes, I do think it’s perfectly ok to acknowledge as much.

Prove he tried to zero out the money.

I thought your kneejerk reaction would be that.

• President Trump relocated the Federal HBCU Initiative to the White House to ensure direct oversight and prioritization, and will once again locate it there.

Prove he did not.

• President Trump signed the FUTURE Act into law, securing $255 million in permanent annual funding for HBCUs and increasing funding for Federal Pell Grants.

This one's even easier. Prove he did not sign it.

• President Trump authorized more than $100 million for scholarships, research, and centers of excellence at HBCU land-grant institutions.

Prove he did not.

• President Trump provided $322 million in hurricane-related relief to four HBCUs in 2018 so they could fully focus on educating their students.

It appears that Republicans drove out Democrats that circled their wagons in Blue Plantaion cities.

What it appears like is a Republican in 2026 trying to lie about the current state of his party. Whites like you should really stop ussing the term plantation when that is what you guys want to send us back to. It's like this trailer park, you guys tell us how nobody white today is responsible for slavery, but you try blaming today's Democrats for slavery in the past. Now, like I say to the other MAGAT morons, the Republican Party promised us reparations and never paid them. So if you want to take credit for being the same party, then tell your lawmakers to pay us the reparations that your party promised when Democrats owned the slaves. Because Lincoln did pay white slaveowners reparations for their "lost property". He paid 900 per slave, which is the equivalent today of 23,000 dollars per slave.

Republicans offered 40 acres and a mule, Today that is equal to 16 million dollars per person. That is what Republicans promised. So like I said, if you want to talk that Democrats were the party of slavery and why do you blacks support them instead of the Republican party that freed the slaves bullshit, it's time for your party to make good on that promise Republicans made while Democrats owned slaves.

If you can't do that, shut your mouth about what Democrats did in the 1860's.

What did Strom Thurmond run as in 1948?

What was old Strom when he finished in 2003?

What was Jesse Helm when he started in 1957?

What was he when he left in 2003?

Fascists/Authoritarians try restructuring history to fit their way of thinking or believing. Now they want to whitewash a man who admitted his racism proudly and demand that we do not call him the racist that he was. The right opposes freedom of speech and expression unless they get to freely spew racism.

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.

In 1963, Beckwith shot the civil rights leader in the back on the driveway of the Evers family home in northwest Jackson. It would take 31 more years before a Mississippi jury would convict Beckwith.

Jeff Steinberg, founder of Sojourn to the Past, which regularly takes students and police officers on civil rights tours to the home, questioned the change to the Park Service material. “You can’t call Beckwith a racist?” he said. “If you opened a picture dictionary and turned to the definition for ‘racist,’ you’d probably find a picture of Byron De La Beckwith.”

The original brochures pulled from the home called Beckwith “a member of the racist and segregationist White Citizens’ Council.”

Stephanie Rolph, author of “Resisting Equality: The Citizens’ Council 1954-1989,” said the council “believed in the natural superiority of the Aryan race. They even went so far as to say that civilizations failed because of racial amalgamation.”

Beckwith also belonged to the nation’s most violent white supremacist group, the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, responsible for at least 10 killings in Mississippi.

This killer was a Klansman — but Trump admin says don't call him racist

Biden authorized 16 billion to HBCUs. Trump has shown you that he is a racist, so you can stop trying to give him credit for things that black legislators got passed.
