Positively mentioning a racist, and ignoring that he was sacked for that speech which led to outrage AT THE TIME. Great going there Atlantic

Sacked and, also: the demographic change he forecast came to pass, and the UK was not, as far as I recall, in a race war in 2012.

Yeah there were articles at the time comparing Powell to George Wallace. And it was not meant as a compliment

Aware that The Atlantic publishes it, as it does much shady else, but I'd take Worth (reverse nominative determinism) to task, rather than the publisher. After all, there is hardly a news,CA, politics, economics, sociology publication (even in peer-reviewed academia) that is without sin of platform.
