The Left and their racialist allies

Affirmative Action and Radical Politics; Affirmative action radicalizes minority students whose achievements become suspect. 
"Universities operate under quotas masquerading as goals and government audits of racial outcomes known as cultural audits. Consequently, university administrators have numbers to produce because the government wants to see numbers. The reality is that the faculty that push black students through aren’t compassionate at all. They’re part of a bureaucracy that needs a certain statistical outcome. The black student is a means to an end. That end is a check in a box." 

The article refers to this Thomas Sowell column entitled Race and Rhetoric in which Sowell writes:

PANTHERS: ZIMMERMAN 'WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE

Sonner said Zimmerman and his wife acted as mentors to two teenage African Americans, even after funding was cut for the program.
They have also helped at a fundraiser for an African-American church, according to the lawyer. 
Jesse Jackson bringing the hate  "This is one reason why it is impossible to talk intelligently about race in this country. There are too many people invested in ratcheting up emotion and hate when it comes to the way in which incidents like the Trayvon Martin tragedy are portrayed.
"Jesse Jackson - who probably felt left out of media coverage - has put both feet into the controversy."
