Ctr: Wow. Amazing post and good on you for having the balls to post it.
I made some of the same points to a liberal friend and she airily dismissed it as being factually incorrect (it wasn’t) and then saying I should be careful about such comments, lest I be perceived as a racist.
And that’s how the game is played. No facts, please, and, if you bring facts, well, you must be a racist.
I want to retch every time I see the Good Reverend Sharpton. I wonder why none of his colleagues on MSNBC every bring up Tawana Brawley or Crown Heights. Then I remember: It’s a game. If you don’t play along and mouth the appropriate slogans with the appropriate fervor, then you run the real risk of the “R word” being appended to you. Like the scarlet letter.
