"My a**," as a certain local blogger might say.
Two black kids pummel the living daylights out of a white kid on a bus, but it isn't racially motivated. Uh-huh.
Elsewhere, our liberal elite talking heads dissect language, body and soul to "discover" that racism is behind virtually any criticism of Barack Obama.
Ironically, CBS today asked if Democrats will "finally" get hate crimes legislation passed. Well, that's terrific, but the sad joke about "hate" crimes (and their legislation) is how they're so selectively applied. Lord knows how I've written about that in the past.
If an unprovoked beating has "no" racial aspect to it, yet folks have to twist the English language beyond all recognition to "discover" racism in people's political criticism, then hate crimes legislation has become a sadder joke than it already is.

racism drove the vote in the house against wilson.
would they have censured a black man?
well i can hardly wait to see what the house does about funding acorn....
Yeah, I think you’re probably right.
