[quote=Anonymous]The woman’s anti-Muslim rant is distressing. It saddens me, not just for the expressed bigotry, but because it exemplifies how some people don’t feel at all constrained anymore to be civil in public, to filter their private prejudices when interacting with others. But there’s also a troubling double-standard, with a baying e-mob eager to humiliate, out, fire and basically ruin a [b]private individual[/b] over an offensive temper tantrum in a supermarket. Yet just a few miles away, politicians and "community leaders" in DC slobber over how to “honor” the late Mayor Barry, a convicted criminal who as a[b] public official[/b], consistently over many years spouted (and incited) racist speech against Asian shopkeepers, Korean-American school administrators, Filipino nurses, Caucasians, etc. Naming public university buildings, renaming high schools, erecting statutes with public money, all of the above are under consideration.
