Lindsey Graham Says Young Black People Can Go Anywhere In South Carolina If They’re “Not Liberal”
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham boldly declared that the only Black people and immigrants who are protected from police brutality and harassment are the ones that are “not liberal” in the state of South Carolina. Graham dropped the shocking bomb during a debate with Democrat Jaime Harrison when they were discussing the topic of George Floyd and systemic oppression against Black Americans.
“What happened to Mr. Floyd was wrong and people should pay the price,” he said before adding that the public’s response to Floyd’s murder is “a war on the police itself.”
“Do I believe that our cops are systemically racist? No. Do I believe that South Carolina is a racist state? No and let me tell you why,” he said. “To young people out there, of color. To young immigrants, this is a great state. The one thing I can say without any doubt — you can be an African American and go to the Senate. You just have to share the values of our state,” he continued.
“I’m asking to every African-American out there. Look at my record. I’ve been supporting Historically Black Colleges and Universities,” he said. “I care about everybody. If you’re a young African American, an immigrant. You can go anywhere in this state. You just need to be conservative and not liberal.”
Didn’t he say he cares about everybody? Check out the clip below.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.
