L’Affaire Derbyshire Goes International
9th April 2012
The Daily Telegraph has a piece that slovenly characterizes John’s article as ‘racist’ but is otherwise fairly accurate.
The disappointing thing is the number of people who, had it been a black guy talking about white people, would have praised it for its ‘courage’ and ‘speaking truth to power’, yet are in the forefront of those howling for his scalp, while out-and-out racists like Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson apparently get a pass.
Nothing so strongly supports what John has to say as the reactions to it.
