Stupid-Gate Update: Cambridge Cops vs. Identity Politics -- Plus Quote of the Day and Iowahawk Satire Alert

Because good people of any race/gender/whatever will cross race and gender lines to do the right thing! Because truth and justice and decent behavior do not stop at those lines, no matter what the demands of cheap, judgmental, reductive, divisive, politically expedient, socially destructive, cynical identity politics. Look at this awesome video clip:



Check out Ms. King calling out various people for rushing to judgment without having all the facts. Heck, yeah.

As usual, the common man (and woman) ends up being far more decent than our intellectual-political-elite "betters." OK, I can't help myself -- is anybody else also remembering that increasingly applicable bon mot from William Buckley? Here it is:

I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first 400 people listed in the Boston telephone directory than to the faculty of Harvard University.

Cambridge PD's Sgt. Leon Lashley and Kelly King, for instance, seem to have more common sense and integrity than any number of race-baiting politicians and academics. They and people like them are the ones who are post-racial, not the race baiters; they are the hope for defeating racism, not the race baiters.

SATIRE ALERT: Of course it would be the imitable Iowahawk who creates an appropriate satire. Here it is (some impolite language in the original): "Cambridge Police Profiling Still A Grim Reality for Harvard Faculty A**holes."
