They were white guys. So were the judges that ordered the end of segregation in public schools.
You have absolutely no idea how many white people in positions of power work to end racism. Your attitude is cynical and not based in fact. But when people like Ray Nagin stand up and say stupid things, it doesn't help, and that's the whole point of this thread.

No, I do have an idea how many work to end racism. I also know that many more don't care, or work to ensure racism continues.
And again, my point is proven. It took WHITE PEOPLE to give blacks any shot at equality (even the half-assed attempts that were made).
