The left practices soft racism on a daily basis based on how they single out minority groups and use identity politics as a weapon.

I always get a kick out of the people opposed to things like voter ID laws because they claim minorities aren't capable of obtaining a state ID.  

The left has cheapened the 'racist' label to the point where it's meaningless because they've used it so often to describe things that simply aren't.

I'm sure pointing that out will have the usual suspects jumping in here calling me a racist.  That's fine.  Those who love to break out the label in a knee jerk reaction are usually just projecting.

Those are decent examples.
I agree that there is a soft paternalism in the left wing today.  The Voter ID thing is a good example of it.
But that controversy started only in the 1990s.
I'm trying to discuss the time from about 1960 to 1975.
I think the people who wanted all black people to have equal access to the vote and to public accommodations back then were left wingers like LBJ and MLK.
I think the people who fought to keep black people down at that time were right wingers like Strom Thurmond, Barry Goldwater, and Squeaky Fromme.  Sarah Jane Moore gets lumped in with Squeaky but they did not know each other and Sarah Jane Moore was a left winger.
Is anyone disputing that? 
People keep bringing up stuff from other times but no one seems to be contradicting my point.
