on Anti-Subordination

The moderate-conservative Republican blogger comments on the recent Supreme Court case involving a black prisoner who felt that he was discriminated against because he was segregated by race during his first 60 days in prison. The California prison system had the rule because it felt that a history of racial antagonism might subject prisoners to abuse. The top court ruled in its favor. “For what it's worth, no matter how we individuate ourselves as Americans, we are always tied to American history. And it seems to me that there has not yet transpired any period of time long enough for what the African American experience symbolizes other than antisubordination. For at least 3 more generations, blackfolks are going to be bogarding. We will be grasping on to our claim on this place and all the respect we can muster. For a long time, our individual meaning will be subordinated to this historical theme. Even the universal disclaimer shouts it. Apparently, even the black convict is chasing after equality with white convicts, and his case goes to the Supreme Court. Damn!"
