"It was a murder in the full light of day and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism. Systemic racism is a stain on the nation's soul."

MEMORY may be doing them an injustice but I can't recall anything either Bill Clinton or Barack Obama ever said on the subject in a similar context that went this far.    

The longer Joe Biden is president the more it feels like we may be in a really consequential presidency the like of which we have not had since the 1960s.   I only hope he can avoid the fate of LBJ in getting sidelined by the wise guys and whiz kids and the Republican-fascist dirty water-boys of the media.
