Tolerating Intolerance in the Land of David Duke?
~Stephen Sabludowsky

~It’s true that interracial relationships don’t last. Usually the White woman winds up viciously battered looking like Rihanna, after Chris Brown got through with her. Every few weeks another OJ-style story leaks into the press about a White woman getting murdered by a black who got a little too jealous or crazy. Unfortunately, the Jewish media doesn’t focus on these stories.” ~Nazi Pig'Fink David Duke
~Sabludowsky: In a very cynical and despicable way, at least his web site made a statement about the issue.
Our fearless political leaders, namely the Louisiana Republicans, Democrats, candidates Melancon and Vitter have remained dormant as a mouse. This shows what type of meek leadership we might be able to expect from our state parties and from our US Senate candidates. When an issue rocks the world there is not a squeak from our own political representatives.
Call me suspicious, but, when it comes down to the nitty gritty, policy for these guys appear to be all about winning and not offending the voters, who could very well be former Duke voters in this very backwards state. And the hardened tolerance keeps tolerating, yet, these political leaders urge us to give them our money for their political causes? Hopefully, this incident shows that for them principal has taken a back seat to expediency.
If this absence of outrage is the sign of Louisiana leadership, perhaps we should just face it. Racism is live in Louisiana and is embedded in the institutions of our political advocacy.
