“The genre of narrative that locates our civil rights and equal protection jurisprudence in this country is history, and our history regrettably incorporates the narrative of racism. Although racism is an ancient concept that long pre-dates the birth of our United States Constitution, American racism is a unique narrative. Our long history of racism needs not to be recapitulated here in order to be accepted and understood as an integral part of our contemporary view of law and culture. Suffice it to say that our nation embraced the notion of racial inferiority for generations, and upon attempting to correct its evil mistake, organizations such as the infamous Ku Klux Klan (hereinafter “KKK”) were formed in an effort to maintain the status quo of white privilege and to resist the ever evolving political, social and jurisprudential trend toward racial equality.”
