Racial doppelgangers, the same excuses

Within our lifetimes, we have seen mobs of racists rampaging. The faces change, as do the races, but the reactions remain the same.

When white mobs attacked blacks, many whites ignored it, some applauded it as rough justice, others acted in solidarity with those attacked, but most told themselves that these were not “white people” but racist individuals or small groups.

White mobs don’t rampage any more, black ones do. And in the black community most ignore it (what can we do?), some say it’s understandable retribution, and others tell us it’s not black mobs but “youths.”

Out of white violence an entire racial industry was created with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, government departments and the faculty of the racial studies departments of most universities the primary beneficiaries. Will we see their racial doppelgangers?
