I read the article you cite and found much to agree with. I'm old enough to remember the last years of Jim Crow and the civil rights movement of the early 1960's. In my view, many people (especially blacks) made a tragic mistake when they embraced Black Power and various neo-Marxist ideas beginning in the mid-1960's. Aside from a few leaders, the Black community continues to pay a terrible price for that mistake, along with the nation as a whole.

Thanks for the affirmation.

I just read this post yesterday, and it was "Deja Vue all over again." It contains an immense amount of rational observation. I see it as pretty much a roadmap of how we got from the 60s to where we are now.
