Leftists have no argument. Their ideology is their religion, and they are true believers. No fact, no truth, no persuasion will budge them. Your advice is perfect - "Be a good person, be colorblind, do the right thing because you think it’s right, and stop bowing down to the race hustlers."

When I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, every white person I knew was very sympathetic to the problems of black people. They felt bad for black people and wanted to help fix their problems. I'm not saying there were no racists in the country, but I didn't know any. There were lots of white people who were very anti-racist. Okay, most of them were anti-racist in theory, but weren't doing anything about it. But they certainly weren't racists.

In just the last few years, I've noticed a profound change. More and more white people I know are fed up with the perpetual search for grievances and accusations of racism. They're losing their sympathy for black people's problems because they're coming to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what they do, it doesn't matter how non-racist or anti-racist they are. It will never be enough.

Is it fair? No. From every opinion poll I've seen, most black people are not extremist race hustlers. They just want to be treated with respect and live their lives. They're not making constant impossible demands. But a small number of liberal race-hustlers -- most of them white, actually -- are poisoning race relations.
