When you fight for and win a SEAT ON THE BUS, it's easy to forget that hatred and racism was never eradicated. It simply slithered underground, unspoken.
Then the Party of Hate legitimized, endorsed and promoted those negative values, fostered disenfrancisement and the resurrection of Jim Crow, even in Lily White Middleboro.
At first the words were carefully coded....now more freely expressed because of a black President at whom you can target your venom and ignorance.
The rest of the world is watching and too many Racist Americans are too ignorant to be embarrassed!
