Conservatives’ self-delusion on race: How the right created the illusion of colorblindness.

"National Review’s editorial line on racial issues shifted in the 1960s toward a “colorblind” constitutional strategy."

"National Review’s editorial line on racial issues shifted in the 1960s toward a “colorblind” constitutional strategy. In part, this change reflected the moral case made by civil rights activists that laid bare the brutal realities of Jim Crow."

Despite African Americans being very conservative on many issues, this explains why “colorblind” conservatism has never taken root in the Black community — It was baptized in a bathtub of White Supremacy.

And older blacks knew this.

And they spread the word to their children, and their children.

It explains why you have two churches in the South, sometimes right across the street from each other. Both orthodox. Both conservative. But they don’t worship together because many white southern churches in the past supported slavery and Jim Crow.

Fucking evil mother fuckers...
