You see, after watching the movie Lady M discovered that – as bad as she thought America was when she was growing up – it was even worse back in the 1940’s when Jackie and Rachael Robinson were young. This sort of “discovery” is a common occurrence for people, like MO, who actually believe history began the day they were born. Despite her excellent, ivy league education, it took a movie to educate her on what real racial prejudice looks like because it occurred pre-MLR (Michelle LaVaughn Robinson).
Lady M went on to say that both she and BO (another charter member of the “history began the day I was born” club) were left wondering:
"how on Earth did (the Robinsons) live through that. How did they do it? How did they endure the taunts and the bigotry for all of that time?"
It turns out the answer is they did it with grace and dignity. What a concept! And they didn’t even have ivy league educations!
