No. It’s never been perfect, but at our best we have tried. It’s about every generation “creating a more perfect union”, not pretending that we’ve ever gotten there. But cynicism is just an excuse for not helping.

To be “truthful, unbiased and accurate,” in many ways we have been... but it’s a journey getting there. 14th Amendment, Women’s suffrage 1921, the Voting Rights Act 1965 - all hard won efforts at establishing it. Other generations didn’t owe us anything. Ours to do our part now.
