#2 Former Senator from Delaware, a slave state, that didn't leave the union thus unaffected by the Emancipation Proclamation but affected by the 13th Amendment.

As the rest of the country acted to abolish slavery by ratifying the Thirteenth Amendment, states such as Delaware, Kentucky, and the Territory of Oklahoma refused to ratify. Delaware's General Assembly refused to ratify the Thirteenth Amendment, calling it an illegal extension of federal power over the state.

Delaware rejected several previous proposals to abolish slavery, including Lincoln's 1861 proposal to compensate Delaware's slaveholders using federal funds if they would free the Black people they held in bondage. The Delaware legislature replied to Lincoln's proposal with a resolution stating that "when the people of Delaware desire to abolish slavery within her borders, they will do so in their own way, having due regard to strict equity."

Not only did the Delaware legislature reject initial ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, but it also rejected the Fourteenth Amendment of 1868 and the Fifteenth Amendment of 1870, which extended civil rights and voting privileges, respectively, to Black people, including the formerly enslaved. Finally, on February 12, 1901, Delaware ratified the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery–more than thirty years after the rest of the nation.

#3 'Geez, the reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home is because some black woman was able to stock the grocery shelf.’

He's right, you know. 'Some black woman' is a placeholder for the millions of essential, non-elite workers (farmers, truck drivers, refinery workers, linemen, Amazon packers etc.) who took the risk (whatever that turns out to have been) that enabled the rest of the country to stay home and defend their moral high ground...
