From a Gallup poll released this morning:
Ninety-four percent of U.S. adults now approve of marriages between Black people and White people, up from 87% in the prior reading from 2013. The current figure marks a new high in Gallup’s trend, which spans more than six decades. Just 4% approved when Gallup first asked the question in 1958.
I’m old enough to remember “You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby.” But that meant something else entirely, not the the sum of perpetually aggrieved white mens’ fears. Then again, maybe it did, too.
