I don't know what his background was; he didn't rise about it

Some people do manage to rise: Harry Truman briefly belonged to the KKK and supposedly used the n-word frequently in private, even during his White House years, but when the chips were all down he found enough sympathy for other ordinary people to think everybody deserved a fair deal
