National Shame Finally Spotlighted

National Shame Finally Spotlighted

I feel ecstatic that this is finally happening but it also brings forth a feeling of sadness because it exposes the national bigotry our government had even during war. In addition, why did it take so long to rectify such a perverse overlook from leaders who send kids into battle? You might also wonder why, it takes an African American president to correct the intolerant mindset of generations past. Could it be, because he himself was/is a victim of racism that persists to this day, especially within the GOP (and its Tea Party offshoot)!thinkingblue
