First, thank you for the detailed reply.

Born in 1957, I've lived a fair amount of history and have read quite a bit more. I agree much of our history was whitewashed, especially when I was growing up. I didn't know about the Tulsa massacre until I was in my 50's. America's Founders were privileged white men, but by the standards of the late 1700's were radicals for progress.

The current SCOTUS is indeed scaling back rights, but taking them away? Certainly not compared to Jim Crow prevalent prior to the civil rights legislation of the mid-1960's.

Which is of course unacceptable, but very seldom is something all or nothing. Vigiliance and activism will likely always be needed, but it's not entirely an "honor system." Courts are holding on multiple fronts, despite the corrupt SCOTUS and their shadow docket.

In any event, the reason for my first post was to point out how Clinton's statement does not apply well to our current situation.

Peace,
Martin
