Then are white Democrats supposed to set the standard they are to live up to? Out of our great awareness of what it is to be white that they can't possibly understand either? What about mixed-race people? Does everyone defer to them equally or does one race have a duty to defer more? Or should we assume they're hopelessly confused and disqualify them?
Just won't work. Heck, large numbers of people of all races can't even set or follow adequate standards for themselves.
Btw, here's something worthy of our outrage from this week that no one's raging about:
Arizona GOP won’t expel racist lawmaker charged with child pornography.
It would be hard to find a bigger source of embarrassment for the Arizona Republican Party than state Rep. David Stringer. But apparently he is not a big enough embarrassment to merit expulsion from the state House.
Last year, Stringer faced outrage after his reported comments that African-Americans “don’t fit in,” and that integrating schools is impossible because there aren’t “enough white kids to go around.” But as if that weren’t enough, criminal records unearthed by the Phoenix New Times revealed Stringer was indicted in Maryland in 1983 on five sex offenses, including child pornography, found guilty of three, and sentenced to probation and psychiatric treatment. The details are unknown because his record was expunged as part of a deal.
After all of that, though, and even though GOP Gov. Doug Ducey has called on him to resign, Republicans have defeated an effort to expel Stringer, with House Majority Leader Warren Petersen claiming that “We have a process, a process that I’m sure everybody in this room would like to be treated the same way with.” He will still be subject to an Ethics Committee hearing.
