and try to learn from the painful lessons of this country’s history, which with the older I get, becomes more troubling all the time it seems. In any event, I don’t know if a country that enslaved people, counted them as 60% of a person, continued to segregate them long after their freedom was granted, and to this day keeps suppressing their votes (just to name a few things about our deeply troubling history) ever had the moral authority to tell anyone else what to do anyway.
