The Race Problem
 
It is unfortunate for black people and for the country that the usual list of "black leaders" includes opportunist demagogues like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Queisi Mfumeze, Lewis Farrakhan, Julian Bond, Maxine Waters, and others of that ilk.  What a singularly sorry bunch!  Jesse Jackson is nothing more than a corporate shakedown artist, and the NAACP and the Congressional Black Caucus have agendas filled with deceit.  I try to hold on to the belief that Martin Luther King, Jr. would not approve of where his movement has ended up.
 
Fortunately, there are a number of right thinkers (who happen to be black) who stand in contrast to the rampant demagoguery, and who offer a logical and refreshing antidote:
