‘The
Owl of Minerva spreads its wings only at dusk.” So Hegel reminded us
that we fully grasp something only as it approaches its conclusion.
And so it is with President Obama’s project to fundamentally transform
the country by, among other things, perpetuating ethnic divisions. This
final State of the Union marks the beginning of the end of his

Judging from the bitter state of U.S. race relations today, it seems to

98-pound weakling would do. “I don’t even know what it is,” sneered
Rudy Giuliani in 2008.
What it was, simply put, was important ground-level training in how to
stoke dissatisfaction and spread activism across the country, one

“subordinate groups” — the project meant ensuring that different ethnic
groups became politically active while remaining unassimilated.
The fact that the president doubled down on his celebration of
“diversity” in his speech last night made it clear that he’s not
abandoning this narrative in the twilight year of his administration, a
race to the end that promises even more damage.
