Article takes the controversy over the Ground Zero photograph of the three white New York firemen raising the flag, as its point of departure. The New York City Fire Department planned -- without input from the public -- a statue of the three firemen, in which the identities of two firemen was changed to a black and a Hispanic, respectively. A massive petition campaign got the FDNY to back down, but will not in any way commemorate the three white firemen.
The article shows that the Ground Zero controversy was just the tip of an iceberg that had been growing for over thirty years -- in politics, education, the uniformed services, and even theology -- which demonizes white men.

I don't proportional representation, but not at the expence of the truth.
Those brave men did rose the flag that day, and deserve our eternal gratitude.

That's right: the truth is the truth is the truth. No social goal justifies lies.
