AMERICAN DEMOCRACY-Ever since its founding, the United States has been attempting to build a society around those wounds, on the belief that hyped-up language
“all men are created equal,” and so forth can paper over deep wrongs. If you put the ideal in writing, you can ignore its absence in real life.
The quote above is from Deborah Scott, writing for a publication of St. Joseph’s Parish in Wilmington, Del. She goes on to note that, except for Nazi Germany and apartheid South Africa,
the United States reigns supreme when it comes to legislation and traditions that have undergirded systemic and racially divisive policies and practices designed to subjugate a particular group of people. It bears repeating that this has been the case for over 400 years.
