We've had some interesting discussions on race and race issues recently (see Rosa Parks Laments and Interracial Dating). Now, as seen on Andrew Sullivan's site, we have two remarkably different tales: one from The Washington Post that celebrates integration, and one from the New York Times that celebrates segregation.

When I was growing up in solid Democrat country--Chicago--all my friends considered me a flaming liberal because I thought just like the people in the Washington Post article. Now, even though my views haven't changed appreciably, I'm considered a right-wing extremist. Funny, innit?
