For those who say “Illegal is illegal.”

On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice.

Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.

So much ahistorical liberal implicit racism on here. Think before posting. Does your statement of supposed lost US goodness (e.g. "founding fathers" romanticism) forget about the violence & disrespect the US has long done to non Europeans/non-whites, their/our peoples, leaders, lands, governance?
