Racial disparities persist - in just about every measurable form - and they won’t simply melt away because the nation has an African American president.

It didn't take long for one of these articles to appear. In other words, the black activist industry has to justify their existence by flogging the false notion that there is still rampant racism in this country. The problem for them is that less and less people will buy that notion after this election.

While attending Howard, Fulton was a board member of Amnesty International Howard Chapter

Fulton continues to advocate and organize for educational and human rights by building awareness of the connection between environmental and social justice amongst diverse audiences and organizations.

When Kari Fulton became a YP4 fellow in 2007, she had no idea that her experience at the YP4 National Summit would launch a professional career as an environmental organizer.

Kari works on mobilizing students of color to take a stance against environmental racism.

It will NEVER collapse as long as someone is making seven figures on it.

Kari Fulton heard a white colleague proclaim that racism in America is dead. She cringed, worrying it might be a sign of flagging interest in the fight against discrimination.
Racism in America will be dead when so-called Affirmative Action is banned. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

'...Don't bother. It's never enough no matter what we do. It's a cottage industry and nothing will change it.'

This is precisely what Booker T. Washington said over a century ago, addressing the issue of the need for political intervention by his opponent, W.E.B. DuBois, who co founded the NAACP, or NAALCP as it is known in Conservative quarters.

In other words, the Race Hustlers will never go away.

So now we have a voting demographic that expects the POTUS to clean up the planet?!

...If Ms. Fulton thinks things are tough in the Inner City now, just wait until the realization hits that those 'green jobs' she's boasting about will never materialize, and that Global Warming is just a gigantic hoax, which will more than likely put a great deal of the Black, Hispanic, and rural White population out of work.
