Comforting fact, maybe...

Obama was the president for 8 years.

Confederacy existed for 4 years.

America had a black president longer than the confederacy existed.

1. Interesting comparitive facts...nt

[niyad]

2. Pointing that out to the white nationalists ought to make their weeeee

widdle heads (both if them) explode!

3. What about the rump's 4-year occupation?

Add that to the 1st confederacy and it’s a draw.

4. That's just

an equivalent amount of crap. Not a draw. Just 2 piles of equal size.

5. How long did Jim Crow last?

Has institutional racism in the USA been totally and permanently eradicated?

Obama's two terms are reason for HOPE.

But the long arc of the moral universe still needs bending.
