re: #108 Feline Fearless Leader

I guess Candace is a member of the school where history is not important since it happened so far in the past.

Candace is a child of a generation that grew up with no idea of what things were like back in the “Good Ol’ Days.” A generation for whom Jim Crow is consigned to the history books, like “redlining” and “coloreds-only.” She’s had all the advantages and protections won in the Civil Rights Era guaranteed to her from the day she was born. So it’s easy for her to believe that all the problems she sees around her are due to “socialism” rather than the legacy of a racist nation that had to (grudgingly) come to terms with its past.
