Kenosha has a racism problem
(So do we)
I come from that part of the world. When jobs were plentiful at American Motors, African Americans moved north for the good paying jobs. The racist joke was American Motors was African Motors because there were so many black people working there. The implication was, their cars were inferior because of the workforce. When the jobs went away, racism simmering under the surface boiled over. It never got better. Of course, Republicans then made the racist claim black people moved Kenosha and Wisconsin because of the generous welfare benefits.
If you're a person of color, the deck is stacked. You're viewed as lazy, shiftless, of inferior intellect, and dangerous. You make babies for the welfare benefits, or because it's easy to get an abortion. (More racist BS)
That car in the picture? It was built in Kenosha by American Motors. At one time the company was run by George Romney, a moderate to progressive Republican. There aren't too many of them left. They've been purged from the party, labeled RINOs, impure.
