Right here. Right now. West Point - the premier military training academy of the United States of America, has a literal monument to the KKK that thousands of students walk under day in and day out.
I don't mean a monument to someone that was in the Klan.
It's a literal monument of a KLANSMAN in a hood and robe with the words KU KLUX KLAN under it.
And it's not a secret. They've BEEN knowing it's there. For generations and generations.
And they've left it there.
And somehow they want us to stop saying this country is fundamentally racist? Like what?
The place that trains America's soldiers has a literal monument to the KKK and this place isn't fundamentally racist? You've left it up for generations, but you aren't fundamentally racist?
