In matters of race, I am always stunned when I see the "leadership's" blatantly counter-productive decisions and beliefs. Whether it be something as large as the recent immigration protests or a simple policy decision like the NAACP fighting school vouchers for inner-city Blacks.

Thinking about Jackie Robinson helps me understand. When Jackie Robinson broke the color-barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers, it spelled the end of the Negro Leagues. The NAACP, The Urban League, La Rasa, Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton...they are the Negro Leagues and they don't want any more Jackie Robinsons.
