Mary Frances Berry finally agreed to leave, but civil rights leaders are upset! Because, there is a conservative in chairman's seat and that is just wrong. We have seen how the press and minority leaders accept conservative minorities, they don't - this is no different. Gerald A. Reynolds assumes chairman of the U. S. Commission on Civil Rights and has already got his critics, from the we must unite crowd. Mr. Reynolds awful sin in the first hours of his new position was to say things like "Somebody can look at disparities in income and home ownership and conclude that it is due to discrimination, but before you can do that you have to perform an investigation because there are other factors that could explain these disparities," how dare him! Mr. Reynolds went on to say "The disparities could be the result of discrimination or it could the result of something else that has no relation to discriminatory conduct," doesn't he know any negative news about minorities is always about race and has been for forty years! Shouldn't we give Mr. Reynolds a chance or are we afraid he might discover that racism isn't as bad as we are lead to believe?
