Hanson: Obama has set back race relations by a generation

"Commenting on Jeremiah Wright's speech to the NAACP last night, Victor
Davis Hanson, the liberal universalist with a gun, declares that "the
Obama campaign and its appendages have set back racial relations a
generation."

Yay!

Make that two generations, to circa 1960, and we'd really have something
to cheer about.

What would an America in which race relations had been set back by two
generations be like? Let us count the ways:

* No Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act which took away the right
of businesses to hire whom they chose, and instantly morphed into a
federally enforced requirement that businesses hire and never fire
unqualified blacks, and then applied the same quota system to women,
Hispanics, and Asians.

* No Voting Rights Act which has morphed into guaranteed black
districts for the hopelessly corrupt and anti-American Congressional Black
Caucus.

* No universal lowering of standards as part of an endless effort to
make black outcomes equal with those of whites.

* No general conviction, poisoning America against itself and making
it incapable of defending its national existence, that America is an
inherently racist, guilty country.

* No entertainment industry transformed into a vast leftist propaganda
machine portraying white and Anglo-Saxon men are cold inhuman bigots and
recasting all pre-1960 America as a nightmare of oppression and hatred.

* No mandated racial integration, meaning that many of the talented
tenth of blacks would remain in the black neighborhoods helping raise and
lead the black community, instead of abandoning it to turn into a
third-world outpost.

* No explosion of welfare, resulting in a black illegitimacy rate of
68 percent.

* No explosion of black crime, black-on-white murder and armed
robbery, and black rape of white women.

* No feminist movement, which has accomplished nothing but harm to
men, women, and families.

* No Title IX, which requires that schools have the same number of
female athletes as male athletes and shuts down male sports programs to
equalize the sexes.

* No "empowerment" of women leading to a population of wimpy
demoralized men and ego-crazed women.

* No integration of women in the service academies and military
units.

* No women helicopter pilots in Iraq getting their legs blown off and
with everyone treating this as normal.

* No Immigration Reform Act of 1965, largely a product of the civil
rights movement, which changed America from a country with an 89 percent
white population into a country with a 67 percent white population.

* No population of 35 million Hispanics in America.

* No Muslim population in America to speak of.

* No jihadist communities and no terror-funding Islamic organizations
in America.

* No Islamic dinners at the White House.

* No Muslim foot-washing in university bathrooms.

* No fear of "racial profiling" or of looking askance at suspicious
looking Muslims.
* No 9/11 attack.

* No transformation of America into a security state to protect from
terrorist attacks.

* No humiliating and demoralizing treatment of American travelers
every day in airports.

* No destruction of American identity and of a shared American
history.

*

This is only a small sampling. The list of benefits that would result from
setting back race relations in America by two generations goes on and on.
Without realizing it, Victor Hanson has made a great case for electing
Obama president, with Jeremiah Wright as his Secretary of a newly formed
Department of Race Relations."
