Such a memorable time in my history, we were filled with hope that we were breaking down barriers. Sadly, we thought bigotry would die with the Archie generation, clearly it didn’t.
I do wish Louis-Dreyfus had included that the actor Carol O’Connor was not a bigot; in fact, he was anything but a bigot. I am confident that, if he were alive today, he would be speaking out loudly against the so-called white nationalists who are trying so hard to infect others with their bigotry.
