I cannot forget that white, propertied men voted to amend the Constitution to extend the rights of citizenship to landless black people, and to women.
Bless ‘em! They came through for me when I needed them. They passed Title Vii and Title IX of the Civil Rights Act just in time to prevent some fake big shot from keeping me out of graduate school. Because of the white, old guys, a desperate, able young woman could provide for herself and her family when her husband decided that he could not. And, she (me) has paid her debt in full. I paid the full amount of my tuition as soon as it first came due, with a single check and a smile. Then, I paid the full amount of the debt EVERY YEAR IN THE INCREASE OF MY TAXES ALONE. It’s been decades, now. Year, after year, the increase in my taxes alone repays the entire tuition debt I incurred. God bless America, land of opportunity!
God Bless the White Men. God Bless them for their kindness, for their fairmindedness. God bless them for their open hearts, and for extending political power to those they could have excluded.
