As one of those professional African American males that you reference, I am in agreement with 100 percent of your astute article. Black demagogues such as Jackson, Bond, Gregory, Sharpton and Belafonte are shameless and are now truly an embarrassment. Thank you for your article.

Since you mentioned Carol M. Swain, I should remind you that in one of her earlier, recent books, "The New White Nationalism," Swain promulgated the radical idea that blacks should abandon racial preferences, quotas, targets and goals immediately because, to paraphrase Swain's reasoning, the disenfranchised whites were able to logically and irrefutably point to the racism inherent in hiring certain races (blacks) ahead of other races (white). Swain had the honesty to point out that this could only lead to further racial divisions. While Swain didn't earn any friends in the old-guard civil rights community with that book, she also managed to also alienate most whites with the remainder of her "blame whitey for everything" and "hypenated justice"
rants.
