Being a racist is hard; sometimes it seems that just about the whole world is dedicated to opposing you, and never shows any mercy. But finally there is some good news! My favorite progressive is getting tired of beating up on you, and is calling for the NFL to get rid of the Rooney rule which, in short, requires NFL teams to interview at least one minority candidate for certain job openings. He doesn't want to replace it with something that will result in more real job interviews for minority candidates instead of the sham interviews common today, but just plain get rid of it altogether. Easterbrook writes: "The rule did its job, and now can be retired."
Maybe this is the start of a trend. Maybe more and more progressives will decide that fighting racism is so twentieth-century and that you really don't even make a good punching bag anymore. You can hope so...
