| The Rules of Racialists ‐ Part One |
| 2015-03-24 |
| Never should racial relations be better. Intermarriage between various ethnic, religious, and racial groups has become commonplace. Every family that I know can no longer be termed white or Latino or black, despite the efforts of government and academic clerks to insist on such. Cousins, nephews, grandkids, spouses, and in-laws now all look quite different from each other. Walk downtown Palo Alto, and couples of the same racial appearance are not the norm. The president, the attorney general, the national security advisor, the chief presidential advisor, the director of Homeland Security, the director of NASA, and the former EPA head are black. To watch television commercials is to see all races hawking shared products -- quite unlike in the rest of the world, where they would be more likely killing each other. Yet racial relations have also rarely been worse in the last half-century, illustrating the old sociology adage that the faster things improve and ameliorate, the more they are declared ossified and hopeless. Perhaps because revolutionaries and the opportunistic fear that with progress for all comes obsolescence for themselves. So, how long can the guilt-ride last before people become immune? Nicole Brown Simpson would have been 56 on June 12th of this year. Does not appear much has been learned in 20 years. |
