NRO fired John Derbyshire for daring to write backed-up truth about blacks and race relations.
Mechanicos put it in a nutshell :
I do not see it as a zot, talking about race is not always racist.
I guess the intimidation of what was our "free press" side is now the order of the day. I just can't fathom the accelerating fear of telling ANY truth in a very short period. It was eligibility and now it's everything else! I guess that because the election is getting closer, the very serious threats must be mounting.
Nowadays, growing a pair is rare, but losing it is fashionable.
They don't call the NRO crew "Girlie Men" for nothing. Now they are certified eunuchs.
I remember during the 2008 campaign there was all this chatter about how electing Obama would finally put our sins against blacks to rest, that race would no longer be an issue.
Rush Limbaugh scoffed at that and cited David Dinkins (former NYC mayor) as evidence—the same thing was said about his election, but race relations got much worse.
Now we’re seeing it on the national level and it’s getting worse pretty fast.
Once again, Rush was right.
Can't figure out why Rich Lowry didn't "man up" for the Progressives and do an NBC on Derbyshire.
You know, string together a bunch of heavily-edited quotes from the Derbyshire article that made John look like a 1905 Alabama Grand Kleagle of the KKK....
