Bunch of BS. Supposedly conservatives are a bunch of racists who really never got over the civil rights act of 64.
Total BS.
I guess we each got something else out of it. My take was we are tired of having “Unconstitutional” rammed down our throats. I was trying to get into MEd School in the 70s. I saw it a little different, I guess.
I have NO problem with anybody of any race or ethnicity participating in our society, as long as it’s an American society, and not some globalist, gobbledegook, polyglot, democratic-socialist version.
And I do NOT believe Caldwell considers us racist, although that says nothing about what New York Magazine thinks, admittedly.
The elite's ideological hostility toward the country as founded is reflected in their frequent description of blameless ordinary Americans as racist. This kind of badgering is a source of genuine and well-founded resentment against culpable elites.
