"I don't hold the town any more responsible than those men who beat us, and I saw those men as victims of the same system of segregation and hatred," said Lewis

It seems Mr. Lewis has more sense than does the mayor.

Yes he does, and it was a city employed police officer who broke up the fight.

I’m no fan of John Lewis, but that was a gracious thing to say. Given that attitude I would expect him to be opposed to “reparations”.

What? The Mayor beat him up back then? He must have. Why else would he apologize? Otherwise it would make as much sense as me apologizing for the Spanish American War to the King of Spain even though my ancestors were in Finland at the time.

He is more forgiving than they deserve, unless the @$$holes came to him and apologized in person.

I went to college with this Bozo. He used to wear a sheet, and I don’t mean going to a toga party. Gag, puke and lord have mercy on us all.

Tight lines on the truth squad.

I didn’t realize he had been beaten, perhaps that explains why he speaks like he has a mouthful of half-chewed taffy...

Isn’t this the Congress-Critter who believes that the sharks still follow the old slave-trade routes, because so many dead and dying slaves were tossed overboard??
