Donald Trump is refusing to label a Ku Klux Klan member convicted of murdering a civil rights leader a "racist". The demented senile convicted criminal has directed the National Park Service to remove any mention of racism regarding the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument in Jackson, Mississippi.
White supremacist and KKK member Byron De La Beckwith shot Medgar Evers in the back - racists and cowards too - in his drivewayn June 12, 1963. Trump has ordered that the grisly description of Evers lying in his blood be deleted from all literature pertaining to the crime. This is similiar to what the racist fascist Zionists have decided last month: They told all historians and keepers of records to delete all mentions of the Gaza genocide. Distorting history is, of course, a staple of racist criminals who think that deleting truth and reality is sufficient to remove the stain of their criminality for the rest of history. It's so stupid and desperate.
Idiots like Trump handle things by their tail. He thinks that all these petty alterations of history he is mandating will efface the past. He also thinks that if he takes an existing prestigious entity (Penn Station, Kennedy Center, etc...) and adds his name to it - even though he has no credit or merit in the entity - the glory of it will simply become his. The entire United states is becoming Trump this and Trump that. Only the MAGA fools continue to believe this moron.
Medgar Evers' wife Myrlie spent 30 years fighting for justice for her husband and later served as NAACP board chair, delivering the invocation at Barack Obama’s second inauguration. There were several assassinations of civil rights advocates by the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi during the civil rights era. Many of those crimes went unpunished, including Evers’ murder. Beckwith was acquitted twice by all-white juries and welcomed back into society. He was later convicted of bombing the home of a Jewish leader in New Orleans.
It seems that Black lives don't matter as much as Jewish (because white) lives. Funny that Trump and his racist goons claim to love Israel and Jews, when their deep ideology is fundamentally antisemitic. How do these two partners in racist crime against Blacks, Arabs, immigrants, Catholics, and anyone who is not White Anglo-Saxon Protestant reconcile this difference is beyind logic. White American supremacists and evangelical "Christians" do love Jews to death, literally. They support Israel not out of love for Jews, but out of antisemitic hatred of Jews: Israel is for these barbarians the place where the End of Times will take place, at which point Jews MUST convert to Christianity, accept Jesus as the Messiah, or else be killed by the very Evangelicals that claim to love them.
“Nig-ge-rs are beasts. It says so in here in the book of Adam,” Beckwith said in a 1990 interview, where he praised white supremacy and the Jim Crow era.
But while Beckwith may be a racist by his own admission, the federal government under Trump is insidiously racist. It doesn't dare say what it really thinks. But it should be judged by its actions: All mentions of black African American heroes are being deleted from all literature, monuments, cemeteries, history books, government websites.... You really have to be an idiot to think that you can delete facts and events in an age where everything is recorded a million times a day. This will pass. Once this assh o o l e is out, any president with decency will restore and reinstate sanity and truth to the history of the United States.
Even though Beckwith was finally convicted of Evers’ murder in 1994—more than 30 years after the killing—Trump's executive order in March 2025 titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History” was essentially a detailed roadmap on how to erase all contributions by African Americans, women and all non-white Americans to the country. Together with his barbaric anti-immigration policies, Trump is clearly trying to "bleach" America of its other colors.
The order directed Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to scrutinize public monuments, memorials, statues, and other similar properties that “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history.” Just weeks ago, National Park Service staff took down slavery exhibits at Philadelphia’s Independence Mall, detailing the history of nine people enslaved by President George Washington.
Bob Dylan wrote a magnificent song about the murder of Edgar Evers in which he not only laments the murder, but makes the brainwashing of white imbeciles by racist leaders like Trump an even greater crime.
Here are the lyrics:
A finger fired the trigger to his name
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand set the spark
Two eyes took the aim
Behind a man's brain
But he can't be blamed
He's only a pawn in their game
A south politician preaches to the poor white man
"You got more than the blacks, don't complain
You're better than them, you been born with white skin," they explain
And the Negro's name
Is used, it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game
The deputy sheriffs, the soldiers, the governors get paid
And the marshals and cops get the same
But the poor white man's used in the hands of them all like a tool
He's taught in his school
From the start by the rule
That the laws are with him
To protect his white skin
To keep up his hate
So he never thinks straight
'Bout the shape that he's in
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game
