For once, the accusations of racism <em>are</em> the real racism.

Yet another RW imaginary offense reified by commission by the RW.

" A punk wearing his britches around his rump and telegraphing attitude? "

If I had a bigot, in nice respectable clothes, telegraphing racism, it would look like Kathleen Parker.

I don't get it at all either. The closest I can get to connecting the two is a metric shit-ton worse than just usual wingnut handwaving about some "both sides do it" nonsense.

At the best it seems... that these murdering kids, what with their senseless murdering of a random white person... allows them to justify what Zimmerman did to Trayvon, somehow? "See, black kids are murderers, so Zimmerman was right to be terrified into using his gun on Trayvon"...?

I have no fucking idea how wingnut logic actually works.

As far as I can tell, they latched on to this because it was a murder involving different races. Which shows just how not-racist they are, because they didn't bother noticing that one of the murderer kids was actually not black. Which I'm sure you noticed, probably because you are the real racist.

It is best not to discuss the black elephant in the room. Works for alcoholism too.

Parker could stop at least a little bit of this craziness by not writing it.

Good, that means I won't have to point out that it needs more waffle.
