Glenn Beck shatters Oprah's Zimmerman Emmett Till comparison

Back in the 1950s, most Americans -- not just in the South but across the nation -- opposed interracial marriages. As blacks were migrating in large numbers to Northern cities, whites moved out of neighborhoods when they moved in.

Today things are different. Our President, twice elected with majorities of the vote, is the product of a mixed-race marriage. Black presence in neighborhoods no longer results in rapid white flight.

Yet many Americans have a desperate need to believe nothing has changed. They yearn for the moral clarity that enables almost all Americans today to retrospectively condemn the old Southern code.

The irony is that those who claim they lead the civil rights movement today have a vested psychological interest in denying its great triumph.

Oprah, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan Obama.  Nothing but self serving race baiters.  They have only hurt race relations and reconciliation. (There's work you rarely hear in the media.) reconciliation.

Please wake up America.

But they did get us our first White - Black president.  I assume that a White - Hispanic can't be far behind.
