Growing up in Maryland and DC, we had a good idea of what racism was. My elementary school, Parkside, was segregated. Black children were barred by law from attending. The only black man on the premises was the janitor.
The neighborhoods in Maryland and D.C. and Virginia were segregated by race and religion. Now that was racism. It was real and it was fought by real heroes like Dr. King. They all lost their lives fighting for equal rights for all races.
Today, racism is legally invisible, but enormous in the eye of the beholder. We have gone from serious persecution to something like a fantasy video game of persecution, so writes Ben Stein in
The American Spectator.
