Slavery is America's original sin.
I'm disappointed in John Kelly.
He's showing himself to be much more like Trump, with polish.
After the tragedy in Charlottesville, why would he swim in the cesspool of slavery?
He never owned his mistaken memory with regard to the congresswoman.
Secy Tillerson, an eagle scout, wouldn't lie about calling Trump a moron, to cover his butt. Yet a four star general doesn't show the spine of an eagle scout! sad...
a snippet:
Kelly’s remarks, then, are part of an American tradition of historical denial, and he is hardly its only adherent. It is fair to ask, however, why Kelly believes that there could have been compromise over the issue of slavery, that a war over human bondage could have contained “men and women of good faith on both sides,” and that a man could have killed thousands of his countrymen and still be honorable, but that a Gold Star widow who feels disrespected by the president’s words, that a congresswoman who defended her and was slandered by Kelly himself, and that the athletes who refuse to compromise on the question of black personhood should be given no quarter.
