The Decline of the Civil-Rights Establishment
Black leaders weren’t so much outraged at injustice as they were by the disregard of their own authority.

The verdict that declared George Zimmerman not guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin was a traumatic event for America’s civil-rights establishment, and for many black elites across the media, government and academia. When you have grown used to American institutions being so intimidated by the prospect of black wrath that they invent mushy ideas like “diversity” and “inclusiveness” simply to escape that wrath, then the crisp reading of the law that the Zimmerman jury displayed comes as a shock.
On television in recent weeks you could see black leaders from every background congealing into a chorus of umbrage and complaint. But they weren’t so much outraged at a horrible injustice as they were affronted by the disregard of their own authority. The jury effectively said to them, “You won’t call the tune here. We will work within the law.”

Clarity…..the race mongers have so effectively thwarted any real dialogue about race for the past 50 years. Good riddence to the old guard….fomenting hatred to line their own pockets. You see, if we all “just got along” like Rodney King wanted us to, the Justice Brothers would be out of work. Seems our first president of color has none nothing to improved race relations while throwing around Rev. King’s name. If he had been judged not by the color of his skin, but by his character, we wouldn’t be living this nightmare where “justice” is a one-way street.
