You see, this isn't about taking down offensive messages or symbols. These mobs didn't suddenly stumble upon some forgotten and offensive historical anecdote, or reach their wits' end after seeing Aunt Jemima on the grocery-store shelf just one too many times. No, this was a deliberate hijacking of a tragedy. The touchy sympathies of "political correctness" were always just a base from which to launch a cultural revolution, a purge of traditional American narratives and icons.
It's about time we all woke up to it.
