Regarding slavery, I think Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. put it best ...


"... because we are moving into this new phase, some people feel that the civil rights movement is dead. The new phase is a struggle for genuine equality. It is not merely a struggle for decency now, it is not merely a struggle to get rid of the brutality of a Bull Connor and a Jim Clark. It is now a struggle for genuine equality on all levels, and this will be a much more difficult struggle ..."

********************

Don't confuse decency with equality. Don't get me wrong, we can have policy debates about equality. That's fair game. However, the Trump era somehow devolved and it became about decency again. That was one of my biggest contentions. I didn't come to this board to debate policy. I came on this board to fight for common decency.
