This white-cop-out-to-get-black-civilian narrative advances the interest of many. The media loves what Tom Wolfe called the Great White Defendant a bad white guy everybody can agree to dislike. For the Democrats, it furthers their assertion that race remains a major problem in America, that Republicans/tea partiers/black conservatives are out to get them, and you must vote for us. For activists like the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and local wannabes, it gives them continued relevance.True enough but a little editing can improve that last sentence:
For activists like the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and local wannabes, it gives them continued $relevance.
Everything every liberal says, every time they speak (at all times, day or night), is a lie.
Period.
