Thomas Sowell Gets to the Root of the Problem

What caused this "fiasco" in North Carolina? Dr. Sowell has an idea:

The sad and tragic fact is that the civil rights movement, despite its honorable and courageous past, has over the years degenerated into a demagogic hustle, promoting the mindless racism they once fought against.

And the really sad thing is that charlatans like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Mike Nifong have hijacked the civil rights movement and turned it into their own bizarre scheme for self-aggrandizement.

We see the civil rights movement come to its ultimate lunacy by promoting the so-called "affirmative action" programs, whereby some people are given preferences over others due to their skin color or gender. And they even take their insanity to a higher level by branding the opponents of "affirmative action" to be racists.

If the USA is such an awful place for our Hispanic and African minorities, then why do so many of their brethren from other countries want to come here?
