And a handful of media outlets--mostly operated by NBC--seem to pander on the issue instead of seeking intellectually rigorous, heartfelt, passionate solutions to the problems that face the nation.

A handful???

Sheesh. That's part of the problem right there. Even the most intellectually gifted on our side minimize the problem.

Actually, I have reason to be optimistic that race hustling will go the way of the Dodo.

Once Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al go the way of the Dodo themselves.

I don't see any young Sharptons or Jackson waiting in the wings to pick up the mantel (mantle?) once they go their eternal reward.

I have never before seen the word 'handful' used as a substitute for 'all of them'.

“Once Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al go the way of the Dodo themselves.”

Unfortunately in many communities there are young community organizers plying the race hustle and living off government grants like young Obama did before moving to elected office. None yet have the national prominence of Jackson and Sharpton but once they pass from the scene the media will create their replacements.

In the mainstream press young Charles Blow is giving a good account of himself. He wears the victim mantle quite well and has the benefit of writing opinion pieces for the New York Times. He is well known in progressive circles and could easily be transformed into a national spokesperson if he desired to step out of the cushy offices of the times and begin agitating.
