How can one quarter of Americans be wrong? If a full twenty-five percent of Americans believe the sun revolves around the earth, the sun must revolve around the earth. That's simple democracy. Twenty-five percent of Americans outweigh seventy-five percent any day. That's simple math.
Americans are never wrong. Greed is good, and stealing from the poor is not a crime. "White-collar" crime is just good business. Murder isn't murder unless the poor guy kills the rich one. And twenty-five percent is better than seventy-five percent, because the twenty-five are on top, and they come first, and they are right: constitutionally right. As constitutionally right as Guantanamo--or the trial of Bradley Manning.
The truth will make you free. We believe that. And truth is a word for what I believe; it has nothing to do with fact. Americans are above fact.
(And Barack Obama isn't black. No self-respecting black person would ever let him be black. Anyway, he was born on the good old North American mainland, in Hawaii, USA.)

RACISM? HUMAN RIGHTS? IN THE USA?
RACISM? HUMAN RIGHTS?
The U.S. has generously agreed to let some Native Americans have some justice.
In ordinary White Man's justice, in the United States, white men can commit crimes on Indian Reservations without fear of prosecution. Thus crimes against Native American women committed by white males on Reservations are not crimes.
Now the U.S. judicial system has decided that for a few tribes--on a few reservations--Native Americans can have "equal protection."
Americans should be proud. White America is giving up just a little bit more of its legal racism. Not all, yet, but a little bit.
Maybe sometime soon it will no longer be legal for horny white males to rape Native American women on reservations.
(And maybe someday the United States will close its illegal concentration camp and torture facility at Guantanamo, in Cuba.
And maybe someday the United States will quit its illegal occupation of Guantanamo, and get out of Cuba. The U.S. lease on Guantanamo ran out more than ten years ago--but being a great freedom-loving, law-abiding nation, the U.S. refused to leave.)
