A Civil Rights activist

If that's what the report says, it is wrong. This is not a civil rights activist -- but a RACIALIST rights activist.

There really is a huge difference. Racialists and Sexualists are not civil. Nor are they fair. These are elitists who herald themselves as a God.

From a review at TCS by Dr. Helen of Shelby Steele's book White Guilt : How Blacks and Whites Together Destroyed the Promise of the Civil Rights Era.

Oppression, says Steele, does not push people to rage or revolution. "Anger is acted out by the oppressed only when real weakness is perceived in the oppressor. Anger in the oppressed is a response to perceived opportunity, not to injustice." This makes sense: people who act out angrily usually do so when there is no threat of being punished and every indication that their anger will get them what they want. This is not always such a bad thing, of course, but black anger and the responding white guilt is not the psychological dynamic of freedom. It is a deal between the power hungry left and black leaders who care more about being thrown a bone and offering fake opportunity to their followers than they care about freedom, autonomy and excellence.

I think we can offer Mr. Steele an object example.
