12/10/2003: Shooter Malvo's notebook

[russotto]

"Gets it", my pale white ass.

1) The existence of discrimination against black people does not rule out discrimination against white people

2) The existence of discrimination against black people does not justify discrimination against white people. Maybe for every New Jersey driver pulled over for DWB, they replace one white student with a black student at Rutgers? How does that solve anything?

3) Supporting elimination of affirmative action is not racism, and claiming it is is merely an attempt to poison the well.

4) Nor, for that matter, is supporting "three strikes" racism. "Three strikes" is a bad idea, a discrete solution where a continuous one is called for. It's a band-aid on a festering wound. But it's not in itself racist.

Some of the other things listed there are examples of racism, but it looks to me that Ms. Elliot has mixed in some dodgy examples along with some undeniable ones in order to lend credibility to the dodgy ones.
