So.....if you accept the idea that it is "high time" for everyone to "make it" on their own, because injustices happened a "long time ago", you are, IMO, a conservative when it comes to the core political struggle in the US, and in the world.....

Well, host, I agree with you. Those are not the things that I am saying. Maybe you should go back a few pages and read this thread. Then you will know what I am referring to.

I am saying that there is a disturbing lack of consideration of the very concepts that you put forth in your thread above. Among every strata and substrata of American ideological thought and socio-economic groupings. You identify as an "old liberal," as do I. In fact, my parents were among the first generation of (at that time) "new liberals" to come out of the south in the 1950's and 1960's and I'm very proud to carry on their ideals, especially when it comes to the subject of race relations. Even though it seems to have gone out of fashion.
