Anyone extending to racist expression a greater place in contemporary culture... is bound to be considered paranoid * Professor of Law, University of North Carolina School of Law at Chapel Hill. This article extends my closing address at the University of Miami Law Review Symposium, Fair Housing 1968-1998: Promises Kept, Promises Broken, February 6-7, 1998. I thank Professor Marc Fajer and the Law Review for having invited me and for having put together such an outstanding event. I also thank Dean Judith Wegner and the UNC School of Law for a generous research grant that facilitated my writing this article. 1.
