In his 1993 book, The Color Line , Franklin calls opposition to affirmative action a racist ploy. It's very tempting, I suppose, for people of weak character to be co-opted by the majority that can use them. They are rewarded in one way or another. If not on the Supreme Court of the United States, then some other way. So many people have a price, and it's not unusual, it's not surprising.
Some blacks have a price.
It's just tragic when anyone sells themselves out. Harsh words from the leader of a racial peace-making commission. Another odd choice to promote racial harmony is panel member Angela Oh. A Los Angeles lawyer, Oh defended the black criminals who terrorized passersby and shop owners during the 1992 L.A. riots. These were not luxury items that they were taking.
