Things were much worse 1776. Only white, male landowners were allowed to vote, so maybe only 4% of the population.
Black people were not even considered fully human by than. No good old times there. There was slavery. Even the trump regime seems like liberal heaven compared to those times.
Imagine a black person with this slogan on the shirt or banner.
Seems strange to me.
I know you are a good person and so is Rosa.
But this seems more like "something terrible happened to me, so it's the worst time EVER! "
I can't speak for the woman who made the sign and very kindly gave it to us, but I interpret it as a comment on the fact that nobody seems to care about the numerous instances of tampering with the 2016 presidential election. Of course I don't think things are as bad now as they were then. I know I personally am a very lucky individual. But I agree with the broad point the sign is making, while understanding that the sign is not meant to be taken literally.
