26. It wasn't a defense

It's an indictment of something larger than this individual, though it's much easier to sputter and shake fist at this one person.

I also didn't say that's how they've always done it. I gave a specific historical timeframe for this racist stupidity.

Thanks, though. Everything else you said was correct.
