admitted the use of barbwire was excessive. They told the judge they wanted life in prison and the trial should not have take two years to stage. Their trial was but another one that reflected how responsible white men had become since the Civil War, and how the barbarity of supremacy was decidedly over with when the war end.

When Michael Donald was lynched in 1981, the white men who did it admitted they were just angry that the black man on trial for killing a police officer wasn’t found guilty right away, and had to go through a second hung jury. They just pulled a random young black man off the street in anger, because they couldn’t stand to see injustice against the black American man on trial. They went down to sheriff’s office and turned themselves in. When a reporter asked why they told the jury they deserved the electric chair, their leader, Henry Hays, said he knew he was wrong and only he deserved it. Hays had heard Senator Strom Thurmond say in his Presidential campaign, “We will always respect the black man and his equality,” and then saw Strom sign the Southern Manifesto in 1958 because “ending segregation is what I’ve been praying for. The Supreme Court took too long to finally end it, even though I never believed in segregation.”

Wait, what? White men have always been taking responsibility? Never incited mob violence? Have been held accountable every time when they did not hold themselves accountable—which was very few? Just earlier this year, I recall Senator Ted Cruz say to Ms. Brown Jackson in her hearing to become a Supreme Court Judge: “Ms. Brown Jackson, your resume is really too good, and you are perhaps overqualified. I’m surprised such a decent human being like yourself had to wait at all for this historic day to come. I can tell you I will rally every vote in my party for you.”

Umm, yeah. It’s like probably not going to happen. He'll probably go down poorly in history, but not as woman-exploiting bigot his is. I don't see the American government every admitting it's mistake.
