'This speech was so horrific it requires a full throated condemnation...' Bart Starr Jr. writes in a guest column about Sen. Tommy Tuberville's weekend 'reparation' speech. 'We Republicans must join them in denouncing such ignorant and hateful language.'
In his new biography of Abraham Lincoln, John Avalon recounts two stories centered around a single trip Lincoln took to Richmond with his son on Tad’s 12th birthday. On April 4, 1865, just a few days before the Civil War formally ended, Lincoln strolled into the Confederate Capital with but one bodyguard. Avalon writes the following: “A low murmur rose at the sight of the 6′4″ man in black…it was the sound of rumor turning into revelation. A crowd of liberated slaves gathered around Lincoln.
On the weekend of October 8, 2022, a Republican senator from Alabama, where Black citizens comprise more than 25% of his state’s population, spoke to a group of potential voters in Nevada and uttered the most vile and racist remarks imaginable. His words cannot be subject to misinterpretation. He expressed, clearly and angrily, his opinion that Black Americans are committing crimes and expect “reparation” in return.
A crucial distinction exists between natural disasters and poverty. Our reaction to the former is of course affected by the fact that we see, again and again, what has just transpired. But poverty silently grinds away, leading to mental and physical health challenges we can barely fathom unless we spend time with those who are struggling. In addition, victims of tornados and hurricanes are, thanks to our help, able to envision brighter days to come.
