What does a community organizer do? What he does not do is organize a community. What he organizes are the resentments and paranoia within a community, directing those feelings against other communities, from whom either benefits or revenge are to be gotten, using whatever rhetoric or tactics will accomplish that purpose.

Booker T. Washington saw the same thing about a hundred years ago:

There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don't want the patient to get well.

Jackson’s and Sharpton are shakedown con men. Gates makes a living teaching and speaking evil of whites. BO fires, intimidates, condescends and manipulates white folk - that’s his shakedown method. Rev.Wright makes a living off of a hate whitey church.

Booker T was a visionary.

Then we have Thomas Sowell - an intellect and true gentleman in every way.
