I agree that we should be more forgiving to dumb teenagers than adults, especially those already in Med school. But what defines racism? Is it merely words or actions, or does somebody actually need to get hurt. If someone says or does something "racist" in the privacy of their own home, is that really racist? Whose rights have been violated? Are not stupid and insulting words and expressions also protected by the 1st Amend.?

And why do blatant racists like "minister" Farrakhan get a free pass on everything because he is African American? Why two sets of laws, one for Whites and one for Blacks?

Liz Warren is a fraud. All of her "success" must be attributed to false pretense. She rose to the top using racial quotas.

But never forget that it was not "Americans" who enslaved African Americans and displaced Native Americans, it was the Democratic Party. The Republican Party of Lincoln always fought on their behalf. Today it is the same with abortion. The Republicans alone have a clean conscience in this regard.

And let's not forget that African Blacks were also guilty of slave trade, and Native American tribes were extremely brutal to one another.

So we know there is no way they will allow a man accused of rape, or these men who are so over the top insulting to stay. No way, the democrats are going to come down on them like a ton of bricks because they don't tolerate any of this, not even by high school kids.

That's "good news?"

In this regard, I appreciate many Conservative commentators I have heard. They called for due process with Kavanaugh, and they are now calling for due process with LG Fairfax. We can never have a fair society that "believes all women," and neither should we "believe all men."
