Liberia was founded by the American Colonization Society — a group that believed slavery was wrong, but also that Black folk shouldn’t be afforded space in the U.S. — to provide a “native homeland” for American Blacks. English has been their official language for over 175 years now. Of course, knowing that would involve knowing history that included Black people, so I guess that’s too DEI for Trump and company.
Yeah, and that's ultimate white privilege in a nutshell. You can be the biggest dumbass in the country and possibly the world, but a bunch of other white people are going to act like you poop vanilla ice cream.
Every time trump opens his mouth, we hear the same thing: the loud clanging of willful ignorance dressed up as awe. “Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?”—boy, Liberia’s official language is English. You could’ve Googled that between one of your tantrums on Truth Social.
Not a real question. Old script. The same tired, racist surprise that’s been thrown at Black folks for generations. The disbelief that we are educated, eloquent, powerful, and whole.
To him, and many in power, Black brilliance is always an exception, never the rule. That’s why a fluent Black man at the head of a nation still gets treated like a curiosity, instead of the norm that he is.
See it. We’ve always seen it. And while he continues to fumble with history, diplomacy, and basic facts, we will remain fluent in truth, fluent in legacy, and fluent in dignity.

And I say this as a crabby old white lady.

Hold your compliments, broken little boy!
Even if he was corrected he would not care.
Smh! Are you educated? he asked! So insulting.
Like he IS. *smh*
I am reminded of Bush the second, how he always made sure that he mispronounced nuclear.
A normalized bone throw to the base
So disrespectful. Like the asshole racist he is.
After impeachments, kangaroo courts, and two attempts to murder the man, this is all you have left.
You would think we all just stopped grunting last year. Smh
Sounds like a Biden quip describing Obama,
Jasmine Crockett is another fine example of why the Democrat party has become nothing more than annoying background noise.
