Ribit> ...why is it only a "racially charged case" when the victim is black???
Reminds me of an incident way back in the late 1970's
while I was in the Army.
Down in the Comm shop, where I worked, a black wire
jockey called a Puerto Rican wire jockey a 'spic'.
Nobody said anything . . no fuss or muss.
So the Puerto Rican calls the black guy an 'N-word'.
The black guy starts ranting and raving as if the
Puerto Rican had done shot him or something.
The Staff Sergeant had to come back and straighten
everybody out.
After he got things straight again, I told the Sergeant
that the black guy had called the Puerto Rican a
racially charged epithet first.
Can you say 'double standard' ?
Zim.
