"Where Are Our Esteemed Black Leaders When Blacks Folks Die At The Hands Of ‘People Of Color?’"

Asks the black conservative Republican columnist:

"Our esteemed leaders have uttered not word one about the rising tide of anti-black racism among Latinos in Los Angeles, but perhaps it’s because they have more important issues on their plates. Let’s see, there’s restoring voting rights to black felons, Hurricane Katrina, keeping racial preferences intact at the University of Michigan, Katrina, perceived racial disparity in the death penalty, Katrina, bashing President Bush, Katrina and perceived racial disparity in sentencing for crack cocaine possession vs. powdered cocaine possession. Oh, did I mention Katrina? When civil rights workers Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman were killed in Mississippi in 1964, the Revs. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph Abernathy made it a point to visit the county where they were killed. That shows the kind of leaders they were. The absence of 'leaders' like Jackson, Sharpton, Gordon and NAACP board chairman Julian Bond from the march protesting [Cheryl] Greene’s death [at the hands of a Latino gang, who targeted her because she was black] -- as well as their disgusting silence -- shows what kind of leaders they are."
