To Kill a Mockingbird

I no longer think the civil rights movement’s problem was that it believed that whites and blacks were equal. It never did. The movement was always based in totalitarianism. It sought a racial dictatorship of white communists and socialists, and black “race men.”

Where to begin? I can't count the number of white liberals I've known who seem to think To Kill a Mockingbird is a true story. In college, I had a political science-history professor who was fairly prominent nationally in his field. He had a Doctorate and was once something like President of the National Association of Political Science Professors.
ReplyDeleteHe believed in the Constitution and Political Process and considered himself an FDR-JFK Democrat. He also called himself a "Party Man." Anything the Democratic party advocated, he supported.
Sometimes I would show him something Lawrence Auster or Samuel Francis had written and he'd say "Who's this guy Auster" or "Who's Francis?" My ex-teacher was a very nice man. He died 10 years ago.
Anyway, his favorite book and film was surprise, surprise, "To Kill a Mockingbird." Once I told him TKAM was a fictional story that never happened in real life.
This Doctor of Arts was speechless.
