It only seems like political correctness has rotten away public officials’ brains to the point of reducing them to gibbering idiots. In Des Moines, police investigating a series of vicious attacks outside the Iowa State Fairgrounds were able to piece together clues and boldly reach on ingenious conclusion:

“We don’t know if this was juveniles fighting or a group of kids singling out white citizens leaving the fairgrounds,” Sgt. Lori Lavorato said. “It’s all under investigation, but it’s very possible it has racial overtones.”

Don’t imagine that they reached this conclusion just on the basis of the victims being white and the attackers being black. That would be racist. There was another little clue…

Sgt. David Murillo stated in a report on Friday night, “On-duty officers at the fairgrounds advise there was a group of 30 to 40 individuals roaming the fairgrounds openly calling it ‘beat whitey night.'”

But local pols are not as willing to leap to conclusions:

State Rep. Ako Abdul-Samad, D-Des Moines, who has worked to fight gang-related violence, said he doesn’t have enough information to decide if the fights were racially motivated. …

He added, “We of course need to work on race relations. If anyone says we don’t, they are playing games with themselves.”

Speaking of playing games, maybe race relations could be improved by shoveling around mountains of free money and electing clowns to high offices as a reward for being black and/or having a Muslim name. Then again, maybe not.
