This guy seems to come from a different kind of culture - not the Western, rational kind, but one based on negation of historical facts and supreme reliance on emotions and myths.
My theory is that these Black activists are mad because, over the past 40 years, there's been a whole new wave of non-white immigrants from places like Pakistan, India, Korea, China, Latin America, the Carribbean, the Phillipines, etc, etc, and they've been subjected to less prejudice than Irish and Italian immigrants were subjected to in the 19th century.
They want to go back to the 1950's when being a "minority" was synonymous with being a Black descendant of slaves, and they could talk about America's history of racial injustice. The truth is that America is a work in progress. With each passing decade we get closer and closer to living up to the ideals of the founding fathers (ideals that the founding fathers themselves knew that they could not live up to).
It kills these people to see that America is not the horribly racist country that they want people to believe it is. And of course, the Republicans are the convenient target of their ire.
I've noticed that there is a hierarchy in regard to "victim groups". At the top of the totem pole is "people of color". All other victim groups must defer to them. If O.J. Simpson beat his wife, the feminists have to keep their mouths shut, because you can't say anything bad about people of color. If people of color are sexist, homophobic, religious fanatics (like Islamic fundamentalists), then feminists, gay rights activists and secularists have to keep their mouths shut, because you can't say anything bad about people of color. If a country populated by people of color is polluting the environment, then the environmentalists have to keep their mouths shut because........well you know.
These Black activists have been coddled by the domestic liberal establishment in the same way that the Palestinians have been coddled by the international liberal establishment. As a result, they show no restraint, no maturity and no civility. They are like spoiled children who are used to the idea of making a scene and watching everyone fall all over each other to kiss their boo boos and buy them a lollipop.
Making all their nowhere plans for nobody.

Following the Dem gutting of the Patriot Act and the wiretapping of Al Qaeda, we will suffer another terrible terrorist blow. After that, expect the US public to ride the ACLU and other communist groups out of town on a rail.
