I went to Tully's to treat myself to an afternoon latte. And while I waited I found an article written by a columnist from The Washington Times.
It reads:
"I was traveling in China when pictures of the looters in New Orleans began to appear on CNN. They were black ofcourse. Looting and raping and burning are what blacks do when the lid loosens. Yes, I could phrase this more cautiously: These things are what *some* blacks, etc. or, more cutely, not all blacks are looters, but all looters...blah blah.
Yet it happens time and again....When the law loses its grip, the looting begins.
We have come to expect it....The looters are always black except when, occasionally, they are Latino. If they were looting for food it would be understandable. But that isn't what is happening. Few of us eat television sets. Nike's running shoes are not particularly digestible.....
....Something seems inherent in the race, or perhaps embedded in the culture, that does not understand success or morals or responsibility as others understand them. Perhaps, as many suggest, a history of being wards of the state, of being given special aid and special privilege, of having nothing expected of them, has inculcated passivity. Perhaps the persistently noted difference in measured IQ is the explanation."
And it only gets worse.
Isn't this amazing?! He claims to write the truth of what white people think.
Truly amazing.
