Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware of the Garganus editorial, but it doesn’t surprise me that Sulzberger’s New York Treason would be the launching pad for anti-Confederacy Political Correctness.

Kweisi Mfume had a lot to do with it, too -- he used it as a bloody-shirt issue to hatemonger the elections in the 90's, especially the 1998 election, when he and the NAACP were working with Bill Clinton to try to forestall an impeachment trial by snatching the House of Representatives back. To do this, they tried to spike up the black vote "underneath the radar". They fooled Newt Gingrich and cost him his Speakership -- Newt was going around talking about picking up seats, and here he wound up with something like a nine-seat majority. The black vote increased by 60% over the 1994/6 elections, and Slick nearly won his bid to stop the impeachment proceedings before they got to the Senate.
