Gates is under the illusion (or delusion) that the nation is still "grappling with the issue of slavery." Maybe people like Gates and Affleck are.
The rest of the country is quite tired of the "legacy of slavery" drama. It's a part of our history not to be ignored, but also not to be dwelt on to the exclusion of everything else.
