AMERICAN GREATNESS
— President Trump Can Win on Race – Karin McQuillan
https://amgreatness.com/2019/05/20/president-trump-can-win-on-race/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
good news for President Trump is that most Americans agree with Republicans
about race: that we are all created equal and deserve equal treatment and
opportunity. The problem is that far too many Americans believe the lie that
Republicans, instead of adhering to these basic truths, are racist. President
Trump has the courage to express our views on race. We can win on this issue.
Democrats don’t want all citizens to be treated equally. Democrats want people
treated differently and according to their skin color. They want group justice.
They call it social justice because it sounds better. In their idea of a just
America, whites, Asians, and Jews must give up opportunities as a group, and
blacks and other people of color must be privileged with extra opportunities
and reparations. By their definition, Democrats claim half the country is
racist. Understand this: the Democratic Party’s idea of racism is defined by
group identity, not by an individual’s behavior or beliefs. You’re not biased?
Doesn’t matter. Utterly reject discrimination? Doesn’t matter. White? You’re
racist. Democrats believe being colorblind is itself racist. Republicans, who
believe laws should be colorblind, are by definition racist.)

offered the branches flexibility to reform an “up or out” system that requires
officers to promote through the ranks or leave the service, among other good
