Opinion in Brief
Larry Elder: “My uncle Eddie, a barber in Chattanooga, Tennessee, immersed himself in local Republican politics. He died 20 years before Obama got elected. He would’ve been stunned that the country of segregation in which he was born could evolve so that his nephew would see the election of a black president. But he would likely have been even more astonished at how quickly Martin Luther King’s dream of a colorblind society has turned into a quest to purge the town square of Confederate statues. He would have been shocked that a group called Black Lives Matter, given credibility by the Obama administration, issued a ‘list of demands’ of white people. In eight years, we’ve gone from the election of the first black president to a call for campus ‘safe spaces’ to combat alleged racist ‘microaggressions.’ Uncle Eddie would have called this moving the goal post.”
