I would be interested in what you actually thought he was getting at... What I thought when I first read the statement was... They may not have committed a crime, but they should be punished for what they did do....
I'm wondering if he is only referring to the males involved? You get 3 guesses...
He meant those making false claims should be punished, I think.
Well, let's assume the reverend knows by now that Kim's 60M interview is unfavorable to the lying whore.
He regrets that she has given this interview.
Therefore, I conclude he is siding with Mangum, the lying whore, either because he chooses to believe her or because he doesn't want to take the heat when it's shown that she's lying. My suspicion lies with the latter, so let's say for the moment that I'm right. He doesn't want to take the heat for leading the black "community" down the racist path that turned out to be a terd in the punchbowl and makes the black "community" and its leadership all look bad.
He wants justice to be blind when the meting out of punishment comes due. I think he means "color-blind", and uses it to mean that Lady Justice should not take into account that the accuser is black and fail to convict or punish the boys because she's black and they're white. That's a bone thrown to the black "community." Since he has absolved himself by focusing on the crime, or lack thereof, or the crime of false accusation, that punishment won't include him or the black "community." He refers to Mangum as the "accuser", not the "victim" which, correct me if I'm wrong, I believe he did in the early weeks in the marches he led to the lax house and so on. That's a bone to the boys and the whites who support them.
So, my conclusion is that he is bailing on all of them 'cuz he either expects Liefong to lose the election or at least the case, but is hedging his bets in order to maintain his street cred in the black "community" by mildly condemning Kim and assigning some guilt to the boys just because they breathe, I guess, and because they are white, and because it's convenient for him to place some guilt on them for having a party and using racial epithets (never mind that the women came willingly to the party and used racial insults first) so that he can, in the future, continue to grind the racial axe as needed for hustling money and power.
In other words, he's covering his own butt and trying to maintain his position even though he wrongly took his followers down a racist path to embarrassment and almost to an undeserved and premature race riot, and is probably the one who brought the NBPP into the case, the NBPP being responsible for the "dead man walking" remark in court and other intimidating acts of racism, and who also almost caused a race riot. He was central in stirring the race pot but wants to point the finger at all the people at the lax house - anybody but him. Notice he's been very quiet for several months until now, but now he has to get out in front of this 60M thing since he laid such a big egg in the first place.
And I'm out of wind on this topic..........whew!
