In his article today, Pat Buchanan discusses the complete failure of multiculturalism, citing the black rioting in London this week and the violent black flash mobs that America is currently experiencing as examples.
In a country-and-gospel tune recalled often in the ’60s, the one that gave James Baldwin the title of his polemic, this couplet appears:

Is multiculturalism a success here? Or does the sudden eruption of flash mobs suggest that the curtain has begun to be pulled back on diversity’s dark side here in America?
