“that’s what I wrote then as a lawyer for my client” and not necessarily his own voice.
This is where the TV lawyer asks “were you lying then or are you lying now?”
He thought we would all be viewed as members of ‘one race’ by 2019 or so. And he based that on ‘hope’. Just what did he hope for, and how did he think it would be accomplished?
It suggestsa a complete lack of understanding or everyday knowledge about the obstacles and insults minorities face every day. I doubt that in the environment in which he was raised and worked he encountered and became friends with many minority individuals, and certainly with those who were not privileged. Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas don’t count.
Or, he thought that White supremacists would win by then.
