"On the other hand, he [Obama] continued, white Americans should acknowledge that 'the effects of slavery and Jim Crow didn’t suddenly vanish in the
sixties; that when minority groups voice discontent, they’re not just
engaging in reverse racism or practicing political correctness; that
when they wage peaceful protest, they’re not demanding special treatment
but the equal treatment our Founders promised.' "
--"The Increasingly Lonely Hope of Barack Obama," by Cunningham, the New Yorker
