Black Activists’ Hate Fest

It was a civil rights march in Atlanta, and all the usual suspects were there: Judge Greg Mathis, Harry Belafonte (who said blacks who serve in the Bush Administration are “black tyrants”), U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), Rep. Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.), Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Jesse Jackson.

Read the linked articles and savor the rhetoric.

All of this raises a fundamental question: why are black activists allowed to say hateful, bigoted and inflammatory things that no white activist could get away with.

The answer is simple: they supposedly “represent” a politically correct victim group.

But happily, most white Americans know the race hustling activists are not representative of rank-and-file black people. If they believed they were, then contempt of black people would be widespread. If the activists were representative, such contempt would be justified.
