    2. Groups generally try to further the interest of the group.
    3. Our federal government is replete with benefits for special interest groups.
    4. Special interest groups have a negative incentive to become “not special”.
    5. Race based groups may be special interest groups.
    6. Race based special interest groups have a negative incentive to become “not special”.
