	No, Bernie, America Was Not Actually Founded ‘on Racist Principles’ https://abagond.files.wordpress.com/2013/02/declaration-of-independence-rough-draft.png?w=500&h=102 @CHARLESCWCOOKE The United States, Senator Bernie Sanders declared before a few thousand college students yesterday, was founded “from way back on racist principles.” “That,” he added, after briefly apologizing for bringing the topic up in the first instance, “is a fact — we have come a long way as a nation.” The latter of these two asseverations is not in doubt. Time was when a black American would be beaten, broken, and even skinned alive on the flimsiest of pretexts, while his tormenters were let free without charge. Conservatives occasionally like to wonder aloud what might happen if this nation — or some part of it — were to be taken over by a monstrous and unflinching tyranny. They do not need to treat the question as a hypothetical: To read Ida B. Wells or Victoria Earle Matthews is to know the answer all too well. That Sanders should remind voters of this truth is admirable and necessary. That he should do so in the middle of an ideologically hostile crowd is even more so. One cannot enjoy redemption without guilt, and, on occasion at least, that guilt must be given a name. America has indeed “come a long way.” Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/424056/no-bernie-america-was-not-actually-founded-racist-principles-charles-c-w-cooke Read more at:
