      12. Do I need to spell out, laborously, why it is a problem for a liberal magazine to have alienated an entire generation of black readers?

      13. Okay: Civil Rights is one of the cornerstone achievements of American liberalism & blacks a crucial part of Democratic coalition.

      14. Last time the Democrats won the White House with majority of white voters? 1964. Before then: 1944.

      15. So for a half century or more, the Democrats have needed black voters to win the presidency. Harry Truman knew that.

      16. Given how crucial blacks are to liberalism & Democratic politics, TNR needed to win back the trust of black readers & writers.

      17. To make this a story about Chris Hughes & not about the countless black readers that TNR has alienated is incredibly myopic.

      18. Some personal back story: I've been reading TNR since, God help us all, 1982 or 1983.

      19. When I started reading TNR I was more conservative than I am now. I supported Progressive Conservative's Brian Mulroney & @akimcampbell

      20. But even young, conservative-leaning Jeet Heer really, really didn't like the stuff TNR published on race.

      21. I'm not black, I'm South Asian, so I didn't take stuff in magazine personally. I did think magazine had lots of weird hang ups on race.

      22. I used to read National Review & American Spectator at same as TNR. Didn't think the three magazines any different on race.

          @HeerJeet maybe before your time but National Review sucked on race into late 1960s at least.

          23. In 2010 (i.e. long before Chris Hughes bought TNR) I said magazine need to have reckoning on Peretz's racism:https://sanseverything.wordpress.com/2010/09/21/the-marty-peretz-situation/ …

          24. Me in 2010: "I don’t know how the magazine can extricate itself from Peretz at this point, but I imagine that in the future..."
