FRmail me if you want on or off the Thomas Sowell Ping List.
At one time, the black civil rights leadership aimed at putting an end to racism, and especially to the perversion of the law to convict people because of their race, regardless of guilt or innocence.
Today, this young man at NCCU represents the culmination of a new racist trend promoted by current black "leaders" to make group entitlements paramount, including seeking group revenge rather than individual justice in courts of law.
This attitude poisoned the O.J. Simpson case and it is now polarizing reactions to the Duke University case. Racial polarization is a dangerous game, especially dangerous for minorities in the long run.
Tragically, the way the Duke case is being handled, it looks as if District Attorney Michael Nifong is pandering to these ugly feelings. Legal experts seem baffled as to why he is proceeding in the way that he is because it is hard to explain legally.
It is not hard to explain politically, however. The District Attorney may well owe his recent election victory to having tapped into the kinds of racial resentments expressed by the young man at North Carolina Central University.
...but if the spineless (both black and white) keep their mouths shut it will continue,so there you have it.
Nothing new here folks, move along, move along.

The truly sad thing about this is that it's completely believable.
"whether it happened or not. It would be justice for things that happened in the past."
It is good that this attitude is being reported on because it is nothing new. This kind of "Whitey owes us" sentiment can run rampant in minority communities if it is not countered in some way.
Human sacrifice? Yeah, that's JUST the kind of thing Black Americans need to be doing to put a stop to racism.
Yep, and political black America is getting very close to putting the entire mechanism in reverse.
Just a glimpse of what the U.S. would be like if entirely dominated by libs.
You can blame the self-proclaimed black leaders for starting it.
I would say the bulk of the blame goes to colleges for their African-American, Women's, Mexican-American, Gay-American Studies courses that promulgate such horse****.
Nifong deserves to have his name memorialized as a verb referring to some nefarious aspect of this case, such as "The racist prosecutor nifonged the innocent defendant."
UNBELIEVABLE! Not THAT he said it but that someone in the black community finally SAID what so many in the black community FEEL.
Bookmark for later... ping coming this afternoon.

Y'all really need to read this one. Thomas Sowell nails it, and in a very Big Picture way.
Just kidding, although black folks don't realize that they are being passed over by politicians, marketers, etc. for their attention.
Kudos to Doctor Sowell, the SMARTEST conservative columnist on the planet.
What this guy said is no different than slave owners or indian murderers back then who said "kill them all" because of something that one person did.
