[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ rant over[/quote] & re: the part about getting credit for things -- this still happens today in situations that have nothing to do with race, socioeconomic class, religion and so forth. Sure, oftentimes you can site discrimination as the cause but it's not always the case. I can assure that had Lewis been white he still would not have received any credit. His being black may have even brought him more to the foreground of history than his non-black counterparts. [/quote]
