"White men used to be tough."
Those were the days that people did not sue each other at the drop of a hat. A lawsuit can ruin a person financially even if he is found innocent of the charges.
If a member of a minority group feels "insulted" he will get a lawyer pro Deo from the ACLU while the white man can expect to have to hire his own expensive lawyer. Besides, we live in a PC society which makes the white man guilty by his color alone.
It is not justice that our society strives for; it is the propagation of diversity at any expense that is promoted.
Not a law expert, but if a person is found innocent shouldn't the accuser be required to pays his/her legal bills ? Or Can't the accused counter sue for defamation/legal expenses..etc ?
As for the main article, I fear for the Reverend's life.
