‘Barack, I Didn’t Do It for This’: An Homage to Andrew Goodman
Um, yeah nolo, I don’t think Roger is asking to have his ass kissed or anything, he is just holding the civil rights types to be true to the foundational principles. Would the political support for CR have been as strong if crackers like Roger had known what was in the immediate future? I’m thinkin’ the naked and politicized abandonment of color-blindness in the law. Few enough people are going to fight to dismantle a system that benefits them, much less if it is to build a new system that harms them. Reciprocity is what Roger asks for and that is the binding agent of any decent society.
