But when the president says another case of inequality of treatment the implication is about race whereas you could easily explain it as one cop out of tens of thousands in the country who might have acted improperly, the use of excessive force or whatever, but the idea that it was a racial incident is required if you're going to have a second investigation. And that I think is a problem that derives from our history and it forces this into the category of racism.


((we need a faints dead smiley))

It also strikes me as odd that this privileged, white conservative man can bring himself to denounce (or at least ACKNOWLEDGE) the obvious racism in this issue but some of DU's loudest "Liberal" Lions (DAMN the quotes around that word are seriously needed here) can't bring themselves to do the same.
