He was excluded from the table due to the color of his skin.

I believe he may want to eat at the table because back then in the segregated times African Americans were not allowed to eat with the other guests they had to eat in the kitchen. So basically he was saying he was an American as well and his color made no difference to whether or not he could eat with the rest of the guests.

Hope that made some sort of sense and helped!

Why might u.s. leaders have a hard time trusting irans goverment​
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

One basic obstacle for the new round of talks over Iran’s nuclear program that open today will be America’s basic distrust of the Iranian regime. Before striking any deal with Tehran, the Obama Administration will have to gauge whether a country where hostility toward the U.S. has been a core political theme since 1979 is acting in good faith. That could be a hard notion to swallow, given that some Iranian leaders still call America the Great Satan, and that Iran still celebrates the 1979 takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran with a national holiday.

HELP WILL GIVE BRAINIEST AND 20 POINTS!!! EXPLAIN THROUGHLY AND GIVE ABOUT 5-6 QUESTIONS. Why do you think it’s important to hav
Allushta [10]

Answer:

I think it is just the dumbest thing that woman and black people are looked down on, or seen as less than white men by some people. You can't help what you're born into, it's not something that you can choose and yet there are still issues today about whether a woman should get this job or a man should get it. It's important because it shows that they are jut as capable as anyone else, it might encourage others to try for a job that they normally wouldn't have. As soon as someone is brave enough to try something, It'll lead to others trying new things too and then we're all better off.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)
