It’s just as fair to call the NAACP and the SPLC “hate groups” and “racists.” They’re certainly “radical”.

It is much more fair to call them, "hate groups," because that is, in fact, what they are.

People who do not understand the total rejection of the reverence for truth, which so characterizes the hard Left, mistakenly believe that such groups seek a kinder, more tolerant world--that their prattling about "diversity," for example, is somehow altruistic. It is in fact, quite the opposite. (See, for example, To Put "Diversity" In Context.)

What the Left seeks is to eradicate the normal cohesion in the social order; to breakdown the sense of a common interest, common purpose in traditional western societies. The motives may vary; in some cases purely in pursuit of power; but in most cases out of some form of hatred for some aspect of reality. The whole pursuit of the Left is a war on reality, a pursuit of wish lists at the expense of institutions founded in human experience.

I think that is the sensibility that is starting to pervade the white perception of race. Even with a so-called "black" president, countless advances in the corporate, political, and social arenas, and boxcars full of money spent on entitlement programs that favor them, black hate groups are STILL refusing to acknowledge the efforts whites have made to enfranchise them, and are becoming more strident -- and childish -- in their "demands."

Like millions of other whites, I've had enough. And with leaders like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Louis Farrakhan, the black "civil rights" movement has forfeited any high ground. I can draw a line in the dirt with a clear conscience now.
