Sundown Towns. Ugly Laws. Banana Republics. I’m sure if you asked any minority group, they’d show you a very different America.
There are two versions of the US: the one sold to immigrants on the Statue of Liberty, and the one that’s really there. White folk were just privileged enough with such a system that we never saw it, or if we did we looked the other way.
Maybe, but there’s clearly a huge difference among regions/states/cities, and we always have the hope of everyone acting like the best places rather than the worst
