This is a wonderful, but sad story. It may be an eye opener for some but for me it reinforced my belief that the plight of African American's is a problem that was created and continued by a white, slavery mentality. It exists to this day in the way that dark skinned people are treated in society.
A society that claims equality and human rights but in practice discriminates on the basis of race, class or gender identity is a fraud and should be called out at every turn.
Then to elect a racist bigot and give voice to the filth of prejudice and racist ravings further compounds the shame of our society.
