Lipset's claim about the 'American creed'. Huggins' piece shows that the 'American creed', from its beginnings in the birth of our nation, overlooks the effects of slavery and racism on American culture, while Wilson's work completely refutes the idea of populism. Lipset's argument is flawed, to be sure; perhaps if he considered race more of a factor is claim would stand on firmer ground. I think both Huggins and Wilson would agree on that point.
