Sundown Towns. Ugly Laws. Banana Republics. I’m sure if you asked any minority group, they’d show you a very different America.

There are two versions of the US: the one sold to immigrants on the Statue of Liberty, and the one that’s really there. White folk were just privileged enough with such a system that we never saw it, or if we did we looked the other way.
