Re: We are all Slave now.
Ty's point on overt racism being a thing in the new conservatism is also right on point.
Also, I think the lack of forward movement on issues of both race and gender over the last generation is notable (with the sole exception of LGBT issues, where it has been a generation of great progress). Fundamentally, our kids are entering a workforce over the next decade or so that looks an awful lot like the workforce we entered, and there has not been a generation that has said that since the generation that killed reconstruction.
But if you look at minority and women partners in law firms, for example, there has just not been much progress.
