The story you tell about the black student in the graduate course is very sad. No one is fairly served in a situation like that. The same with the student who found that his professors were "shining him on." Lowered expectations based on race are, as you said, a form of racism. Agree strongly with your view that the disintegration of the family is at the core of the problem.

Very good! I always like Thomas Sowell, as well as Walter E. Williams.
You'd surprised how many 'social justice' warriors I meet who have never heard of either of them!
As Orwell observed, all creatures are created equal, but some are more equal than others.
If everyone were equal, the eternal victim game wouldn't work, and that's simply unacceptable to every demagog everywhere.
