One can’t erase the tremendous burden of apartheid in 10 years, 20 years, I believe, even 30 years.
Apartheid either is or is not. And it must not be.
Those who want to perpetuate apartheid also seek to divert your attention to the false issue of communism, to send the entire American public on a witch hunt.
