Thanks for doing this Greg. May you and other Americans of European descent continue standing up for me and other African-Americans in these fraught times.
Thanks for saying so. I'm going to continue to do all I can. This site is about injustice, at the end of the day, and there is no greater injustice. My hope is that what's happening now is not an isolated moment, but the start of a national awakening, and that the country will at last atone for its sins.
'From 1963-1968, there were 200 million people living in the 50 United States. Of that 200 million, 20 million were Black—10% of the total population. About one in ten Americans were Black when civil rights activist Medgar Evers was assassinated, in 1963; when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, outlawing racial discrimination in the federal government; when the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed, outlawing racial discrimination in voting; when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, outlawing racial discrimination in the federal government; when Loving v. Virginia was decided in 1967, declaring prohibitions on interracial marriage unlawful; when the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed, outlawing racial discrimination in housing and banking; and when the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, in 1968.'
Who benefited from this legislation? Everyone.
If an accessible door is installed, who benefits? Everyone

A powerful historical summary that hasn't been fully acknowledged, though I hear Frederick Douglas is beeing recognized more and more these days.
Thoughts Greg? About Tulsa: I lived there. Besides the point,however. Humiliation is an aggressive act. Helpful to remember; Humiliation functions as a stimulant to Violence. The individual MUST retaliate to hold any self image. @angrierWHStaff. https://www.oxfordscholarship.com/view/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195379655.001.0001/acprof-9780195379655-chapter-7. He’s all about Revenge. Trump is all about Revenge.
