By putting skin color before character and qualifications to elevate blacks to positions of authority they probably would not otherwise occupy, we have at last created a color-free America, gloriously united under the benevolent smirk of our post-racial Affirmative Action president. Here‘s how post-racialism manifests itself in the legal system:
A black judge [Joseph Williams] from western Pennsylvania rejected a plea agreement for a man accused of fighting with police during a traffic stop, saying it was “a ridiculous plea that only goes to white boys.”
If a white judge dismissed a plea arrangement as “a ridiculous plea that only goes to n*****s,” living rooms across America would be strewn with the fragments of shattered screens as television sets exploded from media outrage.
After the depraved travesty of the O.J. verdict, I dared hope that at least it would mean an end to the canard that the legal system is unfairly hard on blacks. But moonbattery doesn’t even offer a silver lining.
Fortunately in this case, adults took charge:
Williams later recused himself from the case, and a white judge accepted the plea agreement for 24-year-old Jeffery McGowan.
The defendant, who had no criminal record, agreed to plead guilty to disorderly conduct. He had faced charges including aggravated assault. …
On Tuesday, Mike Manko, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office, told the Tribune-Review the plea deal was appropriate and agreed to by the officer, who was not injured.
“Negotiated pleas are never based on the race of a particular defendant but rather on the behavior of the defendant and the facts associated with that behavior,” Manko told the newspaper.
No doubt this proves that Manko is a racist.
