Conservatives often point out that racism is no longer a Civil Rights issue that can be handled by passing more laws. True enough, but it is a civic issue and Conservatives have a civic duty to combat it. I don't usually agree with Ayn Rand, but she was absolutely right when she described racism as 'a barnyard form of collectivism'. The only realistic basis for good race relations is self respect and mutual respect. Progressives have based race relations on white guilt and black victimhood, neither of which is conducive to self or mutual respect.
