"Groups that rose from poverty to prosperity seldom did so by having their own racial or ethnic leaders to follow... The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial or ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarising attitudes and actions that are counterproductive for minorities and disastrous for the country."

~ Thomas Sowell, from his op-ed 'Too many incentives for polarising attitudes when it comes to race'
