"I'm going to talk about race and say that the black reaction to the tragic murders of white people Chris Lane and Delbert Belton not warranting national demonstrations like Trayvon Martin's death proves that those same savage, riot-prone black people who are always talking about race are the real source of America's race problem. Right, Obama?"
--Kathleen Parker, Washington Post
Bonus Verbatim Stupid:
We do know this much for certain: Had the races been reversed, the usual suspects would have had much to say. White teens beat up an elderly black veteran and leave him for dead? White teens shoot a talented black athlete visiting from another country?
Riots.
Because all we black folk are? Barely contained, quasi-human Whitey-seeking time bombs set off by the mere appearance of racism, just waiting to detonate in your neighborhood, your schools, your churches, your workplaces, and your block parties with fruit salad. That's why we need stand your ground laws, so shooting one of us in self-defense because you're terrified isn't a criminal act. It's better for everyone that way.
At least in the twisted, awful funhouse that is Kathleen Parker's personal, paranoid hell of a mind. Jesus, how does the woman walk outside without macing everyone darker than John Boehner and peeing herself in sheer terror?
And just for the record, this is pretty much the most blatantly awful, race-baiting piece of nonsense I think the Washington Post has ever has the misfortune of printing. It's that bad.
Yes it is. I responded in the comments section, but could not frame my disgust as well as I would have liked.
ReplyDeleteThe article was despicable. It is hard just to read the excerpts, much less the entire article.
And the WAPO published it!?! " Makes you want to holler, throw up both your hands."

ReplyDeleteI think you win the Internet for the day.
