Thank you for more dead-on assessments.
I would add that the unfortunate state of race relations is made much, much worse (perhaps to an even worse degree than by the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton types) by the Mike Nifongs, Tim Wises, John Murthas, Ward Churchills, William Ayerses, Bernadine Dohrns—Ayers and Dohrn are about to publish a new book on white supremacy—and countless other white liberals who seem to be on a lifelong mission of vilifying and persecuting members of their own race just for merely existing, in order to benefit from the politically-correct dystopia that puts a premium on egalitarian piety and what Jared Taylor has called “competitive altruism.”
Whoever among these leftist elites displays the most contempt and activist venom against “white privilege” and whatever other cultural dynamics can be imagined, earns the most “diversity” credits in the pantheon of those truly, exceptionally superior beings who purport to be without racial prejudice or animus—except toward their fellow whities, of course.
Such odd creatures see themselves as the vanguard in charge of meting out racial justice against members of their own race, thereby simultaneously a.) absolving themselves of the guilt that they so ardently project onto collegiate lacrosse players and various applicants to police/fire departments and so forth, and b.) promoting their own positions as arbiters and guarantors of the “equality” of blacks and other minorities, making sure that the equal outcomes they strive to exact for blacks, et. al., relative to whites are the product of the superior/dependent relationship between themselves and minorities is perpetuated! Shelby Steele writes of this sick phenomonon, wherein affirmative action and other such perpetual agendas mainly reinforce the paradoxical concept that in order to be equal, minorities must rely—like dependent children, no less—on the largesse of initiatives and programs enacted and enforced by the white majority.
Well said!
