Much of the hostility most blacks have toward the GOP is irrational. The misdeeds of Republicans are highlighted while those of Democrats are ignored. The previously mentioned Stanley Levison—a name known to few people—is greatly responsible for this sad state of affairs.

I doubt if even one is slightly aware of his nefarious and substantial influence in American politics.

However, it is the latter King that dominates our current dialogue regarding racial matters.
