A specter is haunting America -- the specter of neo-racism.
Don’t be fooled by the president’s roster of cabinet choices. Yes, he has appointed a diverse group of Blacks, Latinos, Asian-Americans, and women, along with six white male nominees who are not by themselves a majority.
Does this prove that Boy George really is a broad-minded fellow? I don’t think so.
If Bush’s cabinet selections tell us anything, it’s that racial politics has gotten a lot more complicated lately. Civil rights advocates have been put on the defensive by a new breed of right-wing radicals who are adept at
disguising old hatreds with deceptive rhetoric.
Utilizing the seductive verbiage of neo-racism, smooth-talking zealots have learned to camouflage their ideology and mainstream their message. Within these circles, crude racialist formulations are downplayed as a first step
toward articulating a less abrasive political discourse, one that emphasizes “heritage” and "cultural differences" rather than genetics or skin color.
