But the rest of that article, not so much. Kathleen Parker is a terrible writer, for one thing. Then there were things like this:

My guess? Whites are too uncertain of the proper way to express their anxiety and would rather not risk the potential backlash. Trip lines are everywhere. Even this paragraph feels risky.

Yes, you are so brave for calling out whites who don't say anything about race. What a special person you are. So risky. And I think she's totally wrong about why they're not speaking out, too, but that's another issue.

On the other side of the coin, we all want to call the criminals who have been looting, burning and targeting Baltimore police officers “thugs,” but only African Americans — Obama and Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake — would dare to say it.

Um, no. We don't. You do. Want to know why whites haven't been calling blacks thugs? Because it's racist.

Few are the Democratic women who will find (or express) fault with Clinton. It is the rare African American who finds fault with Obama.

What a crock of shit. That is all.

Nice to see the attacks against the fundies, though. A pleasant surprise.
