quote, the right of property in a slave is distinctly and expressly affirmed in the constitution, unquote. for this reason, taney believed congress had no power to interfere with this right by banning slavery in federal territories. this was at the time the most controversial part of the opinion. the big question of the 1850s was whether slavery would be allowed to spread into new territories and taney's answer to that question was a resounding yes. slaveholders had a right to take slaves into new territory and congress could not interfere with those rights. in other words, the more pressing rights issue at the time was not whether africanmro?zr(p' slave or free possessed the rights of citizenship under the constitution. rather, rights in the context of the heated debates of the 1850s meant the rights of slaveholders. those were the lights that south carolinan john c. calhoun had championed in that southern successionists were beginning to rally behind in the late 1850s. and those were the rights that taney had protected. strikingly absent from the mainstream national debate over slavery,

unquote. i think thurston's stereotypes still appear in our news coverage today not just of african-americans. i think despite the decline in polls that show, the decline in race relations according to, i've got to phrase this right. there is a decline in the number of people who think that race relations have gotten better since obama became president. as few as 8% say it has gotten better. most say they have either stayed the same or gotten worse but i think despite that decline most whites, blacks and hispanics still think the races get along very well or about the same and also especially true in our personal lives. you talk to anybody about, you know, how do you get along with people in other races in your personal life? they can tell you heartwarming stories of neighbors, coworkers, et cetera. but often the world we present to you in the media which presents all these folks burning tires in the streets, et cetera. but this goes back to a bit of wisdom that a senior rewrite guy told me in
