Frantz Fanon, Call Your Office

The last line of a column in today's NY Post could have been written by many fevered commentators of the Left. What a stunner to look up and see that it comes from the usually sensible Ralph Peters:

"Meanwhile, every American who believes in racial equality and human dignity should sympathize with the rioters, not with the effete bigots on the Seine."

How about sympathizing with neither? I'm for the cops, myself.

Peters’s column has other choice tidbits, like this: “If your skin is brown or black in la belle France, you haven't got a chance at a decent life. Now the wretched of the earth have exploded in rage.”

And their apologists have proliferated.
