It boils down to lust for power.

Every group wants more. In this case it just happens to be a group of people who want something for nothing.

At the apogee of the civil rights struggle of the 1960s, most of white America came to see the injustices against black people as unacceptable. The moral authority of Martin Luther King's leadership made it impossible to sustain institutional racism in the United States. His vision of one color blind nation "where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers" spoke to the heart of white America, and white America saw the necessity of change.

Today, Martin Luther King's call for equality has been transformed into one for special treatment; equality under law has been replaced with a demand for equal outcomes, preferential treatment, and reparations. The hunger for freedom has become the thirst for superiority, which should not surprise the student of history.
Martin Luther King's vision of little black children and white children joining together as brothers and sisters has clearly been lost by today's generation of "civil rights leaders." A deeply moral movement and struggle for justice has become a shakedown scam with self-serving hypocrites for leaders.
