re: America really was never that great

No doubt. Jim Corw was bad. Point is we moved past that. in large part to guys like Branch Ricky and other Americans that stood against the likes of those laws and the people that implemented them. Jackie Robinson was a great individual that helped this country in a number of ways. Others stood with him. Focus on the negative and that is all you will ever have. This county had and always will have bad people. Regardless, good people are enabled to both rise above it, and or assist others in doing so. Does this make my stance on this picture any clearer?
