"Pretending It Isn't True Won't Change It"

"Alexis de Tocqueville adds the observation that as a community addresses and corrects for grave systemic injustices over time, the (smaller) ones that (inevitably) remain come to loom ever-larger in the minds of those who suffer them, so that an act or event that would have been considered a relatively minor injustice in the past comes to take on enormous significance in the present."

Damon Linker at The Week argues that "moderation in pursuit of justice is essential."
