From one of the links embedded there:

The chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says that black leaders are “watching the destruction of our race” as they “bitch, bitch, bitch” about President Reagan but fail to work with the administration to solve problems.

Clarence Thomas said in an interview that, in his 3 1/2 years on the job, no major black leader has sought his help in influencing the Reagan administration.

Black spokesmen should be working with the administration to solve such problems as teen-age pregnancy, unemployment or illiteracy instead of working against Reagan, Thomas said.

“These guys are sitting there watching the destruction of our race while arguing about Ronald Reagan,” Thomas said. “Ronald Reagan isn’t the problem. Former president Jimmy Carter was not the problem. The lack of black leadership is the problem.”

Thomas, who agrees with Reagan’s opposition to busing and quotas, said black leaders have allowed blacks to lose access to the presidency and become the only group overwhelmingly opposed to a “popular president.”

It goes on like that, and maybe worse.

I wonder whether he would like to be buried next to Reagan?
