Race relations okay, knee-jerk reactions not okay

The recent case of the fired and re-hired agricultural worker shows how idiotic the cries of "Racist!" are in this country. As usual, the flames are fanned by a media more interested in sensational stories than informing the public.

Here's another case in point, from AP. A Milwaukee political candidate, a black woman, was forbidden to use the following phrase as a political slogan: "NOT the whiteman's bitch". Her name is Ieshuh Griffin.

Ah, Ieshuh, honey, "whiteman" is two words.

None of this is terribly surprising, seeing as it comes from the City Where People Eat People.

I don't have enough hands for the amount of facepalms that requires.
