There is surely no nation in the world that holds "racism" in greater horror than does the United States.

Compared to other kinds of offenses, it is thought to be somehow more reprehensible. The press and public have become so used to tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable texture of American life.

"Racism" is never shrugged off. For example, when a White Georgetown Law School student reported earlier this year that black students are not as qualified as White students, it set off a booming, national controversy about "racism." If the student had merely murdered someone he would have attracted far less attention and criticism.

To bad Lott hadn't read the above...

Young black males are the scourge and terror of our cities.

The above statement is:
A) True
B) Racist
C) Never to be uttered by a politician who wants to survive politically.

The above statement is A.
But A is verboten.

Are we even remotely the land of the free, and the home of the brave?

You (or is it Thomas Jackson?) are correct. But to argue to the posessed that they are posessed is a lost cause - note no responses to your post. The obsession with race and something called "racism", which is in fact ethnocentrism, present and unovoidable in all cultures, is an American disease, infecting all on both ends of the political spectrum. I've tried to argue here that "racism" is a clever invention of the Left that doesn't exist as Dr Mengele practised it, but that only provokes hateful responses from the defenders of conservative politically correct thinking. Belief in "racism" is like a belief in a religious dogma in this country!
