And it's another example of the Left refusing to enter the 21st Century

This Thernstrom article points to the fact that civil rights groups are attacking Justice Rogers' nomination by arguing that he'll roll back race-based civil rights initiatives. The Thernstroms point out that these initiatives have not, in fact, benefitted the African-American community, and that the Left's argument is rooted in the past and not in the present. This article, unsurprisingly, is entirely in synch with my point that the past is the touchstone for so many of the arguments emanating from the Left: Yet another example of the Left being mired in the past Democrats -- still living in the past Bringing the abortion debate into the 21st Century Once again, our school systems work to ghettoize African-Americans
