When I saw (the massive, Progressive disappointment, Neo-liberal) Obama, I didn't think I would like this show as much as I did.
I know this put a positive spin on Abe, but it seemed to be fair about the difficult situation our country was in. And the tragic mistakes he made by completely forgiving the horrible racists & their war crimes. They should have, at the very least, made it mandatory to teach about prejudism, empathy and critical thinking in schools. Had his assassination been thwarted, perhaps the myth of Abe, would have. A century+ of structured violence, red lining, Jim Crow laws, segregation, police brutality, etc, could have been significantly reduced for 40+ million Black Americans.
I wonder how much worse it could have been, then & now, had Abe not existed and made the massive difference that he did make.
