Race hatred... the willingness of the Republican Party via its alliance with the rabid right to give far too much credibility to race hate talk.

John, the Bigots on the right, center, and left of the White race have always been there. But there are less of them, and the ones left are being a lot more quiet than they were in the '50s and '60s, because of the success of the Civil Rights movement.

The failure, IMO, is due to the Leaders of the Black movement doing two things:

1) Insisting on only dealing with people in groups by race.

2) Saying that everything left to be accomplished is due to the white man holding the black man down.

I place a lot of the blame today on the White, Patronizing, Left in this country that agrees with and inflames the "White Guilt" Politics of people like the Black Caucus.

As I have said before, I believe that the only way out is to treat people as MLK wanted, as individuals, not as groups.
