Reflections on Racism and Redemption After 1968 and Floyd
Cal Thomas argues racism is a deep cultural DNA issue extending from slavery to modern marches. He cites MLK assassination memories, 1968 riots, and Gates remarks, linking crime, poverty, and white supremacy to systemic bias. He advocates heart change, school choice, and cross-racial solidarity to curb racism's enduring impact.
