According to Discover the Networks, "Eric Foner was an anti-American 1960s radical, and as a historian is an apologist for American Communism."
Ain't it the truth.
Well it turns out Professor Foner's got a piece up at the New York Times (where else?) calling for a "Third Reconstruction."
See, "Why Reconstruction Matters."
And at the Nation, "Toward a Third Reconstruction."
The "Second Reconstruction" was allegedly during the civil rights movement, when the federal government exerted enormous power over the states to protect black rights, from public accommodations to voting --- to protect blacks from the Democrats and the Ku Klux Klan. (Y'all of course know about the first Reconstruction, when Republicans protected blacks from the Democrats and the Ku Klux Klan.) Well, far-left socialist regressives want to take us back to those bleak times again. Racist Democrat Party times. I imagine leftists want to bring back lynching too.
Via Memeorandum.
