Black leaders would be well advised to spend less energy cultivating grievances and more cultivating an understanding of their fellow Americans. That is the path to integration.

So to sum up the Opinion Journal article:
"If them black folks weren't so uppity there'd be no problem"
Gee who could have a problem with that attitude - or those who spread it?
Did you ever think of reading the article without a closed mind - or consider why it is so back-assward condecending that people might be offended? Or is it the case that you are so firmly ensared by neo-con dogma (still) that you feel the need to assult/insult other's intelligence with yet another "real" American article?
