Raise A Black Fist

By FITSNews We’ve never met “the man,” but it goes without saying that over the course of American history he has done his part to keep our Nubian brothers down.

Like slavery, for example. And the whole post-Reconstruction era in the South.

Having said that, “the man” should not attempt to compensate for his prior failings by allowing present-day injustices perpetrated by African-American militants to go unpunished. In fact, to do so would be racist – not to mention illegal.

Unfortunately, that appears to be happening as it relates to a voter intimidation case in Philadelphia involving the New Black Panther Party. The case revolves around several “new Black Panthers” who were videotaped outside of a polling place in 2008 dressed in military uniforms and brandishing weapons while they hurled racial slurs at would-be white voters.

It’s about as clear-cut a case of voter intimidation as you’ll ever see, but the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama is now being accused of failing to prosecute the perpetrators because of their ethnicity.

From FOX News:

The testimony from J. Christian Adams, who resigned from the Justice Department last month in protest of the administration’s handling of the case, comes after he made a series of explosive allegations during an interview with Fox News last week. He said the administration abandoned an open-and-shut case of voter intimidation and that Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez gave false testimony before the commission in May.

Adams claims the administration has failed to prosecute non-whites when it comes to voting intimidation cases and that the New Black Panther incident demonstrates that.

“I don’t think the department or the fine people who work there are corrupt, but in this particular instance, to abandon law-abiding citizens and abet wrongdoers constitutes corruption,” Adams told Fox News.

Yikes.

Obviously this sort of thing routinely went unpunished when perpetrated en masse by white agitators in decades past. Which is shameful and something white America will always have to live with. Still, that doesn’t mean in “post-racial” present-day America that we should permit the same behavior.

Justice shouldn’t be revisionist … or hypocritical.
