Eugene Robinson notes the disparity.

If you are a black man in America, exercising your constitutional right to keep and bear arms can be fatal. You might think the National Rifle Association and its amen chorus would be outraged, but apparently they believe Second Amendment rights are for whites only.

Dick Polman continues to decry the disparate treatment.

Imagine the outcry if Hillary Clinton was outed for taking more than a quarter of a million dollars in other people’s money — donations to the Clinton Foundation, donations that were intended to be used for charitable purposes — and spent it instead on herself, in a breach of federal tax laws, in order to settle all kinds of lawsuits filed against her. And to buy several paintings of herself.

Well. We know what would happen.

“Patrol’ll Git You”* 0

_____________

*That’s the second line of a children’s song from the slave South as quoted in a little book compiled by one of my great uncles (citation available upon request). The book had only a local printing and is now long out of print, but I still have my copy.

By the by, the first line of that charming little ditty is “Run, N****r, run.”

The Republican Party’s fascination with what goes on in other persons’ bedrooms continues to amaze me. Video stores (remember video stores?) had back rooms for persons like them.
