{"quotes":[{"text":"It's not the fact that some people disagree with the protests. That is as much a right as the protests themselves. It is the hateful, profane, condescending way some have expressed their discontent that baffles me. How do you criticize actions you've deemed disrespectful and divisive and an affront to civilized behavior with rhetoric to the same end? That's like the devil judging the Grim Reaper for harvesting souls.","author":"Carlos Wallace","tags":["carlos-wallace","race-and-racism-in-america","racial-discrimination","racism","racism-and-culture","racism-in-america","racism","racist"],"id":19940,"author_id":"Carlos+Wallace"},{"text":"In my quest to find Green Cottenham, I also discovered an unsettling truth that when white Americans frankly peel back the layers of our commingled pasts, we are all marked by it. Whether a company or an individual, we are marred either by our connections to the specific crimes and injuries of our fathers and their fathers. Or we are tainted by the failures of our fathers to fulfill our national credos when their courage was most needed. We are formed in molds twisted by the gifts we received at the expense of others. It is not our 'fault'. But it is undeniably our inheritance.","author":"Douglas A.
