Americans have many more pressing problems than racism -- including family decay, terror threats, educational mediocrity, stagnant growth, intergenerational poverty and shrill polarization.

Sadly, untrue. Not one of the dystopian nightmares listed can be addressed without reference to race. Race is at the core of the American experience and it is the single greatest problem confronting and confounding America. Unless we can solve the race problem we can expect little but continued decline for the country as we descend into a welter of social disintegration.

We are entirely unable to address the problem of race rationally or even to speak of it honestly. We elected a president because of the color of his skin and we permitted him to shred the Constitution, destroy our healthcare delivery system, squander our sacrifices in Iran and Iraq, turn the IRS into a political weapon, pushed the nation closer to bankruptcy, and generally turned the American government against its own people. His color has protected him up until now from the normal push back of the democratic process as well as the checks and balances contained in the Constitution. But Brack Obama is only one example which personalizes the fundamental problem which confounds America.

Our political system does not work because of race, likewise our judicial system, and our economic system is about to break down partly because of race. We are losing our sovereignty because of race as Obama (and Bush) utterly refuse to police the borders and we are unable to fight terrorism because we cannot confront Muslims for fear of charges of racism and religious bigotry. We are so handcuffed by race that we cannot sensibly confront the truly frightening prospect of Ebola plague.

There is no hidden corner in America which is not darkened by the problem of race and all of it is the result of political correctness.

The Civil Rights Movement metastasized from a largely patriotic and constitutionally based (at least publically) request for redress of grievances to a largely anti-american racially based industrial complex. There is much expressed bewilderment and anguish as to how this came to be.

I would submit that much of this anguished bewilderment results from a wide spread unwillingness to consider the leftist and outright marxist roots (cultural and otherwise) that generally influenced the civil rights movement and that role in what we are witnessing today.

The foremost icon of the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King was surrounded by known communists and regularly took their counsel. He wrote of his affinity for marxist principles in his book Stride toward Freedom, and accepted the notion of Hegalian Dialectics, a prepratory stage to accepting communism. He was a strident critic of the profit motive and capitalism and the US role in the Vietnam war. Just prior to his death he was all in for ever more statist socialist government programs and racially specific reparative edicts. This mantle was taken up by many in the Civil Rights and Black Nationalist movements as they allied and amalgamated with each other. Part of what shielded them from proper scrutiny was the apotheosis of King and the utilization of political correctness to erect guards against legitimate critique.

The forces that are animating much of the chaos in Fergueson have been emboldened by the leech-like attachment of the radical anti-american deconstructionists of EVERY important institution in this nation, that seek to destroy and supplant them with their own twisted brand of unconstitutional tyranny.

We conservatives MUST NOT fear to tell the truth about the gossamer myths that have improperly alloyed themselves to the genesis of the modern day civil rights movement.. We owe it to black people and the nation, even if the truth hurts or further inflames their discontent.
