The Atlanta Democrat, 79, said his cancer diagnosis was confirmed during a routine medical visit this month. He said he’s “clear-eyed” about the prognosis, but hopeful that new treatment options give him a “fighting chance.”

 

“I’ve been in some kind of fight – for freedom, equality, basic human rights – for nearly my entire life,” he said. “I have never faced a fight quite like this one.”

There are already huge swaths of the American population who actually believe that the US Civil War "ended" racism in the US. There is a huge ignorance of the period from the 1860s through to today.

More recently, the election of Obama somehow ended racism and yet also he made it worse than ever
