Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is mentioned 75 times per day on Fox TV
Rep Ilhan Omar
On (this past) Thursday, the (Rupert Murdoch owned) NY Post published a front page featuring an image of the World Trade Center towers in flames on 11 September 2001 and a quote suggesting that Omar, a Somali American congresswoman from Minnesota who wears a hijab, had minimized the seriousness of the terror attacks in a speech last month.

Kamala Harris
“For two years, this president has used the most powerful platform in the world to sow hate [and] division. Putting the safety of a sitting member of Congress at risk [and] vilifying a whole religion is beyond the pale. I’ll be blunt – we must defeat him.”

Rashida Tlaib
Rashida Tlaib, the other Muslim American woman in Congress, was the first on Friday to call for Democrats to “speak up” in return.
“Enough is enough,” she wrote. “No more silence, with NY Post and now Trump taking Ilhan’s words out of context to incite violence toward her, it’s time for more Dems to speak up. Clearly the GOP is fine with this shameful stunt, but we cannot stand by.”

So, you’re going to attack racism in the Democrat party but not the actual racist group in the Republican Party that led to Blacks leaving? Got it.

Political division along racial lines in DC, has reached a high pitch, this past week. Are incidences of direct death threats against Democrat office holders, extreme enough to hold Republicans responsible and liable ?
A PBS series that examines racial lines was aired this month. This week, the astonishing fact of the large number of minority members voted in, to be representatives of their districts, was revealed.
Reconstruction: America After the Civil War
Essential History in 'Reconstruction'
The twelve years that composed the post-war Reconstruction era (1865-77) witnessed a seismic shift in the meaning and makeup of our democracy, with millions of former slaves and free black people seeking out their rightful place as equal citizens under the law. Though tragically short-lived, this bold democratic experiment was, in the words of W. E. B. Du Bois, a ‘brief moment in the sun’ for African Americans, when they could advance, and achieve, education, exercise their right to vote, and run for and win public office.
While tracing the unraveling of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow segregation in the closing years of the nineteenth century, we will look at the myriad ways in which black people continued to acquire land, build institutions, and strengthen communities amidst increasing racial violence and repression. Less than thirty years after black men filled state legislatures, one by one, like dominoes tumbling the Southern states began drastically restricting the vote while drawing a stark color line that divided white and black America.
