Great post — data is great.

Blacks view M Steele and other black conservatives as traitors and enemies. The social pressure on blacks to conform to approved black political thought is tremendous. You wouldn’t believe the level and extent of pressure and propaganda from the schoolhouse to the church.
I have direct knowledge of it. I also have direct knowledge of how the law-abiding, immigrants and others, view the rule-of-law and how hard the legal immigrants work to become citizens. We must never devalue American citizenship. It is precious and means something greater than any citizenship in history.
