      How about the blurb above this one that says, "Why would Justice Dept. protect black panthers?"

      Of course the militia minded Fox Nation troll says, "Because a black guy runs Justice and a black guy is president".

      All of the blurbs are right wing reactions. Fair in balanced only in the minds of Republicans.

      The death penalty itself is not racist. It's only a form of punishment (I happen to be against it). But, the way it has been applied over the years is extremely racist.

      It's like a baseball bat. That in itself is not racist in any way. But if someone were to take that baseball bat out and start attacking only minorities with it, then the non-racist baseball bat is being used in an egregiously racist manner.

      Of course,she's a racist. Anybody who supports affirmative action is always a racist, having a problem with racial discrimination only when it isn't personally profitable.

        I don't believe that. In your case it had nothing to do with race, I believe you benefited from a policy to promote those with abysmally low IQ's.
