The racists saw what they wanted to see. Their pre-existing views were "confirmed" for them by the events in NOLA (funny how that always happens). Like the urban legends about children being raped in the Superdome, the cannibalism, etc. Raving gangs of angry black folks shooting indiscriminately. Never mind that they were all bullshit. Folks were all too ready to believe them. Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Yes, the black community in the States is in social crisis. Absent fathers, broken families, etc. Not trying to deny the obvious. But let's hear a commentator who's not from the loony fringe. Instead of speaking truth to power, nutters like this Peterson clown are all too happy to tell power exactly what it wants to hear.
