You realize that the good reverend himself is one of the misled- he clearly believes what he speaks. So if there is a misleader out there, it isn't, imo, him- unless you are simply using the broadest definition meaning to lead in the wrong way- rather than the definition with the connotation of deception. I don't think I've seen many apologists. Is it possible you're confusing people who explain this phenomenon with people who would be apologists for it? Maybe you can show me an apologist- I don't think I've seen one yet, but then I haven't read everything. I'm not sure who is "enabling" it either. You have the people on the inside, who believe it, and the people on the outside who don't, but don't seem to know what to do about people on the inside. I'm not sure that's classic enabling. And of course most white people were ignorant of the whole problem, which doesn't help either- although I guess it relieves them of the burden of being enablers or apologists- unless ignoring a problem is considered enabling? I know in some self help circles they say that is. I have no idea. I think of enabling as a more active process. And you might be talking to the black community. You are on the internet. You don't know who might read your posts.
