    Perhaps. But the US is allergic to reparations for slavery, has never done a commission on the lingering effects of slavery, or the experience of being Black in America. why would they do one for electing someone twice who turned out to be dictator and did a coup??

      That I agree with. The US deathly allergic to any introspection. My theory is that “American exceptionalism” prevents any introspection.

      “We’re America! We’re prefect!” thinking just lets the rot the fester. The only way to be a better country to is confront, talk, and learn from dark chapters.
