Column: The new racism won’t solve the old racism – Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

NYT columnist Bret Stephen: "Thoughtful liberals who think this is much ado about nothing should spend some time pondering how perfectly people like Ms. Lightfoot are now playing into right-wing stereotypes. They should also spend time wondering whether the ideal for which they have long fought — a society that, if not colorblind, can at least see past color — is being jeopardized by progressives who apparently can see only color. Whichever way, it shouldn’t be hard to see that trying to solve the old racism with the new racism will produce only more racism. Justice is never achieved by turning tables."
