You can not judge the times of TJ with what is going on now. ONe has to put things in to their place in history. What he said in his time was really a shot heard around the world. Since those days a man ruling him self has grown and moved all over our world. I am sure the powerful will still use the weaker but one can not say it is anything like it was and it sure is not where it should be today but it is better. I am in my 70's and a women and believe me today is better than when I was a kid for a women. Plus it is better for any race that is not white also. Do not get me wrong I do not like what I see but it sure is better. Just do not forget how far we have all come.
