We read:
"The NCAA will consider expanding its ban of championship events in South Carolina, possibly disallowing baseball and football teams from hosting postseason games, because the Confederate flag is displayed on Statehouse grounds.

A college athletic organizaton wants to make policy for a State? Do the voters get a say?
"Crackers", "These people", "Tar"
The good ol' double standard again
Senior California Democrat Don Perata seems to think it is OK for him to utter racial slurs. In one speech recently he managed three of them -- or what would be three of them if it had been a conservative speaking.
San Diego is just over the border from Tijuana so San Diegans see the illegal immigrant flood close up and not many of them like it -- so they do tend to protest about it.
To Italian-American Perata, however, the San Diegans concerned are just "crackers" (lower-class white ignoramuses). It's a term that goes close to being the white equivalent of "n*gger". But Perata is a Democrat so racial slurs against whites are just fine and dandy. I am sure a lot of the good citizens of San Diego who are protesting do not consider themselves as "crackers", however.
Amusingly he also used the word "tar" in a way very similar to "tar baby". He said: "if you start getting engaged with these people, you get tar all over yourself.". When conservatives use the term "tar baby" to refer to something sticky, that is held to be very bad because tar is also black but apparently tar loses it blackness when a Leftist uses the word.
Finally, Perata's use of "these people" would probably be seen as derogatory if a conservative had used it. Third-party Presidential candidate Ross ("giant sucking sound") Perot got roundly criticized for addressing a meeting of blacks as "you people" in 1992. I personally don't think that Perot was "insensitive" for using such phraseology but I am not a Leftist.
"Racist" for Manager to Fire Black Thief
Another nutty story from Britain: A hotel manager watched a black employee stealing money -- on a videotape from a security camera. She showed him the tape and fired him for what he did.
Now he is claiming that his firing was "racism" and a British government tribunal appears to be taking the claim seriously. Details here
