When our clergy fail

At the same time the animosity that has been fostered by the rhetoric of the campaigns and our nation's history makes it completely understandable.

4 Black youths kidnapped and tortured a white kid in Chigago, and the above is the kind of statement we get from (some) liberal white clergy.

I've seen virtually none of the folks I follow on either blogs or social media (you know the ones who jump to the politically expedient conclusion and broadcast it everywhere) speak out against this crime.   Just the kind of thing exemplified by the above quote.

It's bad enough that the president' hometown is a slaughterhouse, It's worse that the left chooses to downplay and ignore this interesting bit of data.

But for anyone to excuse or condone this action (no matter how obliquely), especially someone in the clergy, is simply uncomprehensible.



 It's interesting that we've gotten to the point where folks on the right are supposed to condemn loudly, publicly and vociferously any action that can be remotely construed as having any racial component at all, while those on the left largely remain silent about this kind of thing from their own.

One last thought, it seems as if it's now fashionable to construe the criminal process as somehow unjust.   Even when (for example) a white officer is charged with the shooting of a black victim, the hue and cry that when "justice" (I suspect the really mean punishment) isn't instantaneous that it is somehow not justice.
