Cue Liberal mode: "But people of color can't be racist! They can't be racist because they're oppressed victims of white privilege! That's why the D.O.J can't prosecute the Black Panthers or any other black person who threatens crackers at the polls! DUH!" /end liberal mode
I've heard the above argument from countless liberals. And I bet that mentality is the reason behind the decision to drop the Black Panther case despite the overwhelming evidence against them.
This case honestly makes me sick. Bigotry is bigotry no matter what color the aggressors and the victims are. If the KKK had camped out at polls in Black neighborhoods and shouted "WE WONT LET YOU ELECT A NI**ER!!", they would have been buried under the courthouse by now (and they would deserve it). If a competent president was in office, the Panthers would have been convicted a long time ago.
