Executive Ordering Racism

 FEDERAL LAW law long prohibited racism, sexism, or any form of discrimination in the workplace, on government property, or in any workplace which receives federal funding. Because such discrimination is so pervasive in american culture, federal intervention has over the years grown to include required racial sensitivity training for government workers. Part fof the training involves an explanation for its existence, consisting of a historical outline of racism and discrimination in American culture. With the stroke of a pen,  President Trump, noted racist, eliminated the entire program, ironically calling it "racist". The good news is that if Biden is elected, which seems at this point reasonably possible, he can and probably will reverse Trump's executive order with his own stroke of the pen. similarly, A Democratic president and Congress could and doubtless would reverse many of the innumerable forms of idiocy trump has set in motion during his term in office. For his entire life Trump has been a racist; forty five years ago he was indicted for it, for housing discrimination. he steadfastly denies it, of course, like all racists deny being racists. his favorite trick, which he and most other racists seem to consider quite clever, is to turn the tables by accusing anyone who broaches the topic of racism of being racist themselves. The truth about American history, the truth about American culture, is that racism, discrimination, violence and exploitation of people, resources, and opportunity have always been central to American history and culture, core American values, and remain so. Only recently have history text books and teachers begun telling the truth about this historical and cultural heritage. But in the twisted thinking of pseudo patriots like Trump and far right wingers, it is the tellers of truth who are racist, simply for having the temerity to tell the truth, that the United stats is a racist country, and always has been. Thus does Trump and his ilk deflect attention from their overt racism, which they disguises less effectively than they may think,  by shooting the messenger, and by pretending to be the true patriotic Americans by embracing a whitewashed, dishonest, hagiographic version of American history and culture, which flatters them. they think they have the high ground, but this is a false impression; criminals and scoundrels often hide behind false patriotism, and, for that matter, false religion. These false patriots, who fancy themselves morally superior because they refuse to accept the reality of their country's deep flaws and injustices, are actually the evil ones, because their entire system of morality is based on lies and deceit. We can only correct our mistakes by admitting them, and this process the false patriots will never agree to engage in.
