This is the direct results of politicians pandering to be elected. It is the direct results of the leadership of the Jessie Jacksons and Al Sharptons of this country. It is the direct results of liberals,Democrats and Republicans whose only desire is their own power and control and the masses in America will pay for it because between immigration,liberal college professors,and the terrorist America is on the brink of disaster and on top of this we have been driven into a tizzy where we will have to fight rather than switch because Congress has become a "Bully Pullpit" of partisan politics.

Fortunately more and more blacks are realizing this and hoisting the BS flag on high. There's a big rift in black politics that continues to grow even wider. Many are asking themselves why they support sheer and utter riff-raff simply b/c they are the same skin color. Imagine.

Right. What's happening in this country is that a major sea-change has occurred in the minds of many black leaders. This kind of nonsense isn't going to get any traction in the long run, and would only do great damage to black Americans if it ever did. It's no mere coincidence that Bill Cosby made headlines with his "controversial" (i.e., truthful) comments about the cultural issues in black families right around the time that Hispanics surpassed blacks as the largest minority group in this country.

If it weren't for the fact that "higher education" in the U.S. has become little more than the one venue where bizarre, idiotic, and emotionally stunted ideas are held in high regard, I suspect Dr. Sowell would have had a hard time coming up with enough material to write a column on this subject.
