Pathology of race on full-blown display during Detroit emergency manager announcement

Matthew Davis: Pathology of race on full-blown display during Detroit emergency manager announcement | MLive.com:

Mostly, though, and especially in terms of public policy, racial pathology appeals only to the most vile in humanity.

That pathology was on full-blown display Thursday when Gov. Rick Snyder named Kevyn Orr -- a highly respected bankruptcy attorney -- as the city's emergency financial manager.

Outside the press conference, deeply pathological racists like Rev. Charles Williams II (of Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network) called Orr, who is black, an "Uncle Tom." 

Tom Barrow, another protester, said the state's financial manager law is "Jim Crowesque."
Said the Rev. Horrace Sheffield: "This is colonialism in its neo-negro form."

There are only two possible explanations for such despicable behavior, the likes of which is every bit as contemptible as their contemporaries in the Ku Klux Klan.

First, that Sharpton's organization is using race to gain some pecuniary advantage from Detroit's misery. 

This practice is also known as "race hustling," and Sharpton is an expert at raising some claim of racism to force the alleged racist to hire him or some crony to provide racial sensitivity training or some other meaningless drivel.

Thus, the pathology takes on a form of venality. 

It may never be prosecuted as extortion, but it's a practice that -- if this county were ever serious about improving race relations -- should be condemned, or at least shunned, by mainstream opinion leaders who allow Sharpton to appear on their shows.
