Commentary

My Democratic friends don’t like it when I point out that their party was the party of slavery in the 19th century, the party of segregation and Jim Crow at the turn of the 20th century, and the party of neo-segregation now with their support of identity politics, Black Lives Matter, and the philosophy of Ibram X. Kendi, according to which, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”
