"Unfortunately, the greater consciousness among Whites about Black equality has not carried over to the new victims of racism - Muslims and Immigrants. There is no racial enlightenment for these groups, which are huge.

The Democratic Presidential candidates are avoiding these issues in order to cultivate support among White Americans."

-- Howard Zinn
