“Everyone knows heavy drinkers can stop whenever they want to, so I never tried.”  -Scott Hanel

Defense Atty Andrew Branca says Chauvin should be granted a mistrial. That would have one nice effect: It would tell the mob that mobishness does not work.

I'd find Officer Chauvin Not Guilty on most counts since the state hasn't proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Chauvin even caused Floyd's death.

Our current culture no longer finds addicts responsible for their horrible addictions. But I think they are.

"Another burglar demanded to know from me why he repeatedly broke into houses and stole VCRs. He asked the question aggressively, as if ‘the system’ had so far let him down in not supplying him with the answer; as if it were my duty as a doctor to provide him with the buried psychological secret that, once revealed, would in and of itself lead him unfailingly on the path of virtue. Until then he would continue to break into houses and steal VCRs (when at liberty to do so), and the blame would be mine. When I refused to examine his past, he exclaimed, ‘But something must make me do it!’ ‘How about greed, laziness, and a thirst for excitement?’ I suggested. ‘What about my childhood?’ he asked. ‘Nothing to do with it,’ I replied firmly. He looked at me as if I had assaulted him."  -Theodore Dalrymple

"Diversity worship and multiculturalism are currency and cause for celebration at just about any college. If one is black, brown, yellow or white, the prevailing thought is that he should take pride and celebrate that fact even though, just as in the case of my eye color, he had nothing to do with it. The multiculturist and diversity crowd see race as an achievement. In my book, race might be an achievement, worthy of considerable celebration, only if a person was born white and through his effort and diligence became black."  -Walter Williams

United has announced half of their training class is going to be women/nonwhites.  And some people online believe setting racial quotas does not compromise output quality!

Ha!

Try running an NBA team and pledging you'll have only 13% black players.  Let me know what happens to quality when your team "looks like America."

"For black politicians, civil rights organizations and white liberals to support the racist practices of University of Michigan amounts to no less than a gross betrayal of the civil rights principles of our historic struggle from slavery to the final guarantee of constitutional rights to all Americans. Indeed, it was practices like those of the University of Michigan, but against blacks, that were the focal point of much of the civil rights movement."  -Walter Williams

Joe Biden says the new GA law, which expands voter access according to The Washington Post, is "Jim Crow on steroids."

It's not.  Slavery is Jim Crow on steroids.

Families "of color" will receive payments in Oakland thanks to a city-launched project.

The Vermont governor tweeted an offer of vaccinations to black people before white people.  In what world is that not a massive news story captivating the nation??  Ours, evidently.
