Now we are coming to grips with a simple fact: our American history. I'll fly my woke flag (I used to call it 'knowing stuff') and point out that ripping toddlers from their parents at the border isn't that far from dangling the babies of slave mothers by their heels and saying, in the voice of Jeff Sessions, 'Now this here pickaninny will make a fine field hand!' I recall marvelling at the way LBJ handled senators who insisted the colored drinking fountains and lynching trees were part of Southern heritage. They recently closed the Indian School in my town (Phoenix) where Native American kids were "placed" for their own good. We used to ride up to mining towns here in Arizona to dance and raise tuition money for children of miners because the Hispanic miners were still paid less than the Whites. To my Republican fellow citizens, I apologize for having a memory which keeps getting called up by recent events in our Republic.
