They have embraced that ‘slavery wound’ and are keeping it open and festering. It could easily have been left behind after the Civil War, in which MY ancestors fought to free the slaves. But no! Can’t let a grievance go. It could easily have been left behind with Martin Luther King, who wished for the day when his little children would be judged by their character, not by the color of their skin. But NO, cannot set that grievance down and just get on with life.
etc etc.
I was thinking, this morning, that these times/ this presidency — it’s similar to what it must have been like in the South after the Civil War. Reconstruction. Carpet-baggers. What did it lead to?? That’s right, the KKK. Because, guess what? People do not like to be ground down and spit upon while other folks take their stuff.

I wonder what will happen this time around. Instead of being decent, we are being treated by the ‘victors’ as peasants and garbage.
