In reply to the discussion: Wow! Joy Reid nails RWNJ sleaze Dinesh D'Souza for attacking John Lewis [View all]appal_jack
(3,813 posts)11. D'Souza would prefer a civil rights movement frozen in the past
In D'Souza's world, there 'used' to be racism, and then some hazy, distant, entirely whitewashed and inoffensive civil rights figures mentioned that they had a dream and the reasonable white people said, "Oh yes, of course."
What D'Souza's blinkered and pinched ideology prevents him from seeing is that John Lewis did important civil rights work in the 1960's, and he has been doing important civil rights work ever since. Because the struggle against racism, poverty, and injustice is ongoing and very much unfinished.
John Lewis is a hero, and D'Souza is a worthless shitstain.
