I was once told by a guy who’s relatively smart that I shouldn’t be so outraged by what the media chooses to report and what they choose to ignore, and I shouldn’t be sitting around wondering where the outrage was when a story doesn’t have people rioting in the streets.  I was told that it was simply a partisan device, and I’ve been chastised for it more times than I care to count.

You would think that, knowing this, the person in question wouldn’t fall into that same trap after chucking me into the wood chipper, but it doesn’t work that way.

In Australia, a cockeyed judge made an idiotic ruling that a ten-year-old girl agreed to have sex with a group of people that were later charged with raping her, resulting in suspended sentences for the group.

Of course, the "she’s not white" card was played pretty much instaneously, along with the "woe is me, there’s no outrage, boo fucking hoo" card.

Sure she did you racist sack of shit your honour, all 10 year old girls have the capacity to make such a decision.

I’m not gonna bother asking if the judge would have arrived at the same conclusion if it had been a little white girl who was gang raped but somehow I can imagine it would be somewhat different than a bunch of suspended sentences

Now, I’m not arguing the validity of his gripe.  The idea that a ten-year-old can consent to sex in the first place is laughable, but is it racism or stupidity?

There’s something about the left that loves racism and it usually follows this mould.  Lately, we’ve seen it a lot with the "pretty white girl" crimes or the case where a white family had a bunch of kids and got a lot of attention while a black family that had the same number of kids got no attention.  It was, after all, because they were white.  And Natalie Holloway, of course, is only a story because she’s white.

It’s silly victimhood, and it’s annoying.  This judge, as Stageleft says, should be flogged in the public square for this idiotic opinion and the suspended sentencing of people who raped a little girl, but playing the race card is old, boring, and tiring.  Contrary to the left’s assertions, not everything in the world is the product of a racist biased culture.  Some things are better chalked up to good old fashioned stupidity.
