"Trying to see each other across centuries of wrong".
Brooks' Whig history of Western European guilt.
Negroes were wronged.
Negroes were not wronged.
American Indians were not wronged.
They were either defeated, died of disease, or were enslaved, but they were not wronged.
They were done little differently than almost half of the white people who came over here were done, indentured servants; or than their ancestors in Africa or Europe had been done before them, held as servants, slaves, serfs, or whatever, but not equals to the nobility or even to the rising middle class in the West.
Who cares what his wife Anne Snyder says?
The negroes on the ground are not grateful, and their children will not be grateful, for even being here, call Lambert's partners Oreos. They are fricking oreos!
They needed to be shipped out to Africa to see how the other half lived.
Brooks admits that the somewhat, for dumb Brooks, comforting truth is that it has always been like this: He is right. Frederick Douglass, etc.
As Brooks notes, Douglass was not even grateful to Lincoln, what a dick move.
These bitches should have been transported back to Africa right then, not later.
