George H.W. Bush: “Maybe something good will come out of it.”

This means that people of every race, religion, ethnicity can be fully and equally American. It means that bigotry or white supremacy in any form is blasphemy against the American creed.

American officials must heed the lessons of the short-lived coup in 2002, when Bush Administration support for Chavez's ouster undermined America's standing in the region and damaged our credibility as a defender of democracy.

No other issue will have more lasting impact on the well-being of your families and your future.

I think you are engaging in the soft bigotry of low expectations.
