In an editorial at CNSNews.com, Dr. Alveda King asserts that liberal race-baiting serves only to create unrest as it overlooks -- for the purpose of maintaining a mindset of victimization -- the true nature of African Americans, who have survived overwhelming oppression "from first slavery and then segregation and racism."
She writes:
When I hear Mrs. Senator Hillary Clinton or Mrs. Michelle Obama, or Al Sharpton, or other leading speakers stir up memories of racial unrest and oppression, even when they are pointing out the obvious current racial overtones and undertones that Blacks in America are still facing, I don't hear hope. They don't offer solutions, only more anger, pain and despair.
As a survivor of the 20th Century Race Wars, my back remains unbent, and I move forward for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all who were created equal in God's eyes.
