Your article is a nice explanation of how today's racism is a continuance of American history. You even mention the Dred Scott decision of the supreme Court, but you fail to acknowledge the critical role supreme Court decisions played in implementing Jim Crow. The supreme Court has consistently represented wealth and privilege from the beginning, and nothing has changed. https://nevinhoraceoliphant.substack.com/p/our-constitutional-republic?r=3sr22y

What I don't understand is the sense of "constant lack and fear" that Americans have despite being the most powerful empire in the history of the world. There is a constant state of alertness and the need to create enemies....such a sad legacy for what could have been a shining Empire.
