In 1995, 30 years ago, Henry Regnery published my book, The New Color Line. Henry told his son Alfred that my book was the second most important book, after Russell Kirk’s The Conservative Mind, that the publishing house had ever published.
Reviewers agreed. Irving Kristol, the father of the neoconservatives, called attention in The Public Interest to the important message of my book. What had happened was the implementation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act by the EEOC had overthrown the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, that required equal treatment of the law, by imposing racial quotas, explicitly prohibited in the statutory language of the 1964 CivilRights Act, against whites and in favor of blacks, against males and in favor of females in hiring, promotion, and university admission. This, of course, made whites and white males into second class citizens under the law as it was enforced by the US Department of Justice and federal courts including the US Supreme Court. This practice of making white Americans second class citizens in law has continued for 60 years.
