A) Yes, and B) What a stupid question and statement.

The Moff Tarks:

If so, isn't it curious that the height of our reputation occurred when our most racist post-antebellum laws were still on the books and being enforced?

No, that isn't "curious" in the least. It's a) mainly coincidence, and b) completely natural, because...

It'd be almost as if Europe didn't really give a tinker's damn about racism.

Wow, what humongous insight -- not. No, of course they didn't. Pretty much nobody did, back then. AS YOU'VE JUST BEEN WHINING ABOUT THE USA ITSELF. Sheesh...

And to a large extent, they still don't care. Or at least, not in a way to make things better. - (scoenye) - July 13, 2020, 07:58:48 PM EDT
