It is sometimes impossible to do good without appearing racist.  Sometimes you must choose between the two.

Maybe to a more astute observer they wouldn't have.  Certainly not to a less astute one.

The first is Israel:  The response to some thousand Israelis being tortured and murdered was... widespread pro-Palestine statements and demonstrations by the intelligentsia of the West.  Is this the first time terror attacks on civilians have been openly celebrated here, aside from Ward Churchill after 9/11?

The second is that a DA in the United States is openly charging -- it is the written policy of her office -- whites more severely for the same crime.  I'm seeing absolutely red:  This woman is violating the 14'th Amendment.

But I suppose it's ironically appropriate that the 14'th Amendment, which has been taken to mean women can have abortions after heartbeats are heard and brainwaves detected, is NOT taken to mean the law must be applied equally regardless of race.
