Courage

Holder is probably right. We need courage to talk about race; to proclaim the news that nobody bombed the levies in New Orleans and that prisons are populated by different groups largely at the rate at which those groups commit major crimes: that a black male youth is 10 times as likely as a white male youth to commit a serious felony.

We need the courage to tell Sharpton that we can tell the difference between a racist cartoon and one that isn’t without having to ask his permission first.

The real problems will never be addressed, much less solved, so long as the gatekeepers of dialog profit from professional victimhood.
