The Last Refuge of Scoundrels

Poor Jena LA. It has been invaded by all the scoundrels and street hustlers looking for a little free publicity and to "raise their profile". Naturally, all they have to do is say the secret word "racist" and the duck descends in the form of the national media to shower the gift of free publicity on them, and to induce white America to wallow in guilt and beg forgiveness - again and again. A sleepy little town with a local high school problem is made to bear the guilt of the nation on its shoulders.

It has become the greatest blackmail scheme (no pun intended) for the "reverends", who seem to instantly appear out of nowhere with their followers (and, naturally, the press!) to do their "sidewalk act". It would be interesting to know (a question that is never asked!) what all these people do for a living, how they can take the time off to go to these traveling road shows, and who is paying their way there. Most likely, the US taxpayer, who, it seems, has been paying "reparations for slavery" since at least the New Deal.

As for the "leaders", it serves America right for allowing our guilty conscience about slavery (it's been over for a long time now!) to give these charlatans the run of the airwaves for so long!

Surely the cry of RACISM has become the last refuge of scoundrels.
