Somebody please tell me why this is any worse than this?
The first story brings outrage, abject apologies, horror, memories of lynching. Why is that different from the second? It brings memories of witch hunts from medieval times. Is there a time limit? Why is a black effigy worse than a white effigy? When will the difference in the way we treat different races finally stop? Both of these situations are disgusting, and should be dealt with equally harshly. But they won't.
