So last night, we talked about how police in urban centers of the country are bracing for violent unrest, just in case a) Obama loses and riots break out in cities like Detroit and Oakland, or b) Obama wins and riots break out in cities like Detroit and Oakland.
So let me get this straight: No matter what happens, we should expect blacks to riot. If this isn't racist, then call me David Duke in a sundress.
Think about it: We freely assume that no matter what happens with the election, whites, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans and our outspoken friends from Trinidad and Tobago will go about their business.
But African-Americans? Expectations are so low that we're placing rush orders on riot helmets.
The sordid message that blacks cannot control their behavior is something you'd expect from the KKK or maybe airport security agents who've tangled with Cynthia McKinney.
But this racist idea actually lurks just as prominently in the minds of the left. Witness the liberal commentator Fatimah Ali of the Philadelphia Daily News, who recently wrote, "If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war..."
Nice.
