If I ask Ralph Ellison to pick up the white courtesy phone, is that racist?
Mark Steyn weighs in:
Gotta love this “post-racial America”: Democrat union heavies can beat up a black guy using racial epithets and leave him in a wheelchair unable to speak – and happily (unlike, say, a black professor being asked for picture ID) it’s not “symbolic” of anything at all.
Not a Sharpton in sight to speak up for him: Mr Gladney’s only shot at fame is an entry in The Guinness Book Of Records under “Least Famous Black Hate-Crime Victim In America”.
