For decades liberals have beat into the heads of white Americans that they are racists responsible for enslaving blacks.  The insistence on white racism was  music to the ears of black activists.  Here is racial provocateur Al Sharpton 21 years ago:

“The first thing we need to do is acknowledge that you robbed me. Let’s start there with reparations.  . . .  America must admit its sins in Africa and its sins against people of African descent.”

This lie has become institutionalized in the media, black racial preferences, and in university black studies departments and their graduates.  Enough white Americans have been indoctrinated that the public has accepted black racial privileges in university admissions, employment, and promotion for more than a half century.
