It's a wake up call for me to realize that racism is still alive and well in this country today, the treatment of the Tennessee Three and the revelation that the KKK is still active there was depressing as hell. I grew up in a pretty diverse community, went to school with a diverse population of other kids. My Sunday school teacher was Black and she was friends with my mother since her little boy was in my mother's class. And that was obviously a few decades ago. I remember learning about the Civil Rights Movement in 9th grade Social Studies. The fact that racism is still a fact in this country, thanks to TFG along with his other egregious prejudices, is something that needs to be ended once and for all - again.
