Harriet Tubman: $20 bill
#47
The Urban Sombrero Wrote:
If the proposition is that President Obama sought to unbalance the cultural scales in favor of people of color, I dissent. All of us are somewhat captive to our times. President Obama was called upon to respond to several police shooting events. I do not view establishing a Commission to look into the rates of police violence against people of color as an attempt to unbalance the scales. I do not view an inclusion of courses examining the role and contribution of people of color to the history of the United States as unbalancing the scales. I do not view a forthright examination of America's troubled relationship with race and ethnicity as a necessary condemnation of "white" people. Conversely, I do not view transparency within "black" culture, examining joblessness and sperm donoring without true fathering, and other issues as racist. King's dream was of a time, a place where dignity, where value, where opportunity, where essential and basic respect were not tied to skin color. I will leave it to others to assess for themselves where this nation stands circa 2017 in this matter. My only interjection is this: we are not where we were in 1787, or 1887, but not sure in terms of 1987.



Well you could try rereading the news headlines since "Beer Summit" and see if that helps clear your head.
