The author re-enforces what we have all known instinctively - racism is born of ignorance. In the Deep South, ignoring those who have a fiscal interest in fostering division, racial relations are just fine. My ‘adopted’ Indian daughter, beautiful and highly educated and with whom we just spent Thanksgiving, is shunned because she is ‘brown’. This in the midwest. Shame on them.
Yes, it seems so. He glosses over the fact that the internment for which this act was used by Roosevelt and justified by the Supreme Court then as “wartime necessity”. The action was later apologized by Congress and victims were awarded a cash payment.
His argument is nothing more than specious diversionary blather.
Lastly, I was born in 1950 in Georgia, except for my 8 years overseas in the military, I’ve been here all my life. I have NEVER seen nor heard of directly witnessed KKK meetings, cross burnings, etc. other than the newsy items about marches and lawn cross burnings and graffiti (many were later proven to be victim perpetrated). I live in north Georgia now and there are many areas up in the hills you can drive on dirt roads and one lanes where you’ll see signs against the government and rebel flags, etc. But you don’t see Klan meetings, notices or hear-tell of them or any cross burnings.
Frankly, I think the man is lying when he says he has.
