PJB Comes Around On Race, Maybe February 15, 2008

One of the chinks in the armor of the phenomenon known as Patrick J. Buchanan is that he thinks the civil rights movement of the 1960s, and the “liberation” of American blacks it portends, is somehow a good thing. Sometimes, he has let this mentality get the better of him. Anybody remember Ezola Foster? However, it looks like he might be fortifying that foible just a little bit — his latest column is about the Jena Six Thugs fraud.
However, he still has some work to do, because he admonishes his readers not to equate the Jena Six Thugs “with Emmett Till and the Scottsboro Boys.” Which probably means he believes the “official” readings of those events. Needless to say, the “official” stories about Emmett Till and the Scottsboro Boys, as PJB himself did say in that same paragraph about the Jena Six Thugs, are more mythical than truthful.
