Thus Jackson does not condemn the Black Panthers; neither does he embrace their Marxist philosophy or all of their tactics. Because the Panthers are so widely seen as victims of police repression, they pose a delicate problem for many black leaders. Jackson handles that problem rather skillfully. He accepts their claim that they espouse violence only defensively, in response to white terrorism against them. He lauds their contribution to black pride. With the same ease, Jackson can endorse moderates; he praises Roy Wilkins for fighting racial injustice "long before I was born." He sees the usefulness of tuxedoed black leaders...
...this Washington bureaucrat Hitchcock has created, at whatever cost to the tightness of his film, the figure we know is blindly implementing policies of worldwide domination. To condemn this professional for his complicity requires of an audience the same sort of moral overview, which recognizes the effect of governmental policies on other people, that the man lacks.

To refuse them special consideration is to condemn them to the self-perpetuating cycle of inferior education. In fact, the concept of compensatory help is well established in the armed forces and in industry. Progressive businesses, including IBM and General Motors, do not insist on conventional aptitude in hiring blacks; instead, they train them for jobs that the schools have not previously equipped them to handle...
...study society but to change it. Similarly, the revisionists seek what they term a "usable past"-which means, in effect, a past that supports their present political convictions. The evidence suggests that they have overused the past. Their understandable anguish over the Viet Nam War has led them to condemn American participation in other wars; too readily, they find a link of culpability stretching from one conflict to the next. In so far as they tend to disregard history that does not serve their needs, they are antihistorical. Thus, when Staughton Lynd, in Intellectual Origins of American Radicalism, combs American...
