2. It's to be expected. The further you go back in time, the higher the

percentage of racists there was. A 90-year old could be a WW II veteran. Even the
Army and Navy were segregated then -- it was official government policy at that time!

5. Nope. I frankly think you're a person who believes in fairness,

which is a good quality. I wasn't thinking of excusing anyone.
But a fact is a fact. It did happen, and the past can't be
changed. What's important is the present - now.
