If you listen to the ravings of the denizens of the Left in the media, in Congress, in Hollywood, and in academia, you would think it is still 1964 — when the Civil Rights Act was passed — and that racism is not only still prevalent everywhere across the country, but that it is still accepted by our culture and society, morally and legally.
