Du Bois figured out after Atlanta Riot of 1906 that American race hatred isn’t affected by facts. ‘s ignorance is an essential part of his brand. Not knowing where Kansas City plays football isn’t a deficit for his Know-Nothing Klavern. It’s part of their tribal identity.

1870, 15th Amendment ratified. However, promise of 3rd Reconstruction amendment was blocked for almost a century through use of poll taxes, violence, & more — and recently by voter ID laws, felon disenfranchisement, & other voter suppression tactics.
