I'm going to quote the final paragraph of the article here...
"While not every single vestige of racial discrimination has disappeared, Obama and the Rev. Wright are absolutely wrong in suggesting that racial discrimination is anywhere near the major problem confronting a large segment of the black community. The major problems are: family breakdown, illegitimacy, fraudulent education and a high rate of criminality. To confront these problems, that are not the fault of the larger society, requires political courage and that's an attribute that Obama and most other politicians lack. "
To answer your own question Kevin...you should re-read the editorial.
Williams simply states that Obama's affiliation with Rev. Wright proves that he's not a "Jackie Robinson" type of person. The writer, a black man, simply states that black America needs an A+ black man to be the first--and Mr. Williams' education, track record, and his history qualify him to take this opinion. Walter Williams wants there to be a black president--but for the sake of all blacks, the first black president has to be able to hit home runs for all Americans when he goes to bat, and play great defense every day.

Well, isn’t that special. You quoted the writer's thoughts of “The major problems confronting the black community are family breakdown, illegitimacy, fraudulent education and a high rate of criminality” and not racial discrimination. Am I to understand Bill that these issues are not faced by any other ethnic group? Maybe my fraudulent education I received from John Tyler caused me to miss that obvious observation. At least we can thank President George W. Bush for “leaving no child behind”. What I failed to see in your attempt to give credence to the opinion of one man is where in the constitution does it states that the first minority must be Superman? Why is it that the Black Race must always be the premier when all others just have to breathe deeply? With your logic, Senator Clinton has to be Wonder Woman and since Senator McClain will be the first at his age, lets make him Professor X. Too bad people like Mr. Williams wasn’t there to help write the constitution.
