“One of the reasons why a justice system has to be manifestly uncorrupted is that people will not stop rioting in the streets in order to let a corrupt system handle their grievances.”
Not the Best Idea
“To go along with any level of this PC foolishness is like going on a bender in Bangkok and getting a tattoo from a guy whose English is not that strong.”
In the Name of Opposing Lynchings
“To revile due process is to become, in principle, a defender of lynchings.”
Mostly Feathers
“There are some insufferable bores out there, and there are people who puff themselves up like a barn owl when it is ten below.”
Not Enough Money in the World
“You can’t hire enough cops to contain a nation of fatherless men.”
Which Is Pretty White
“Some men carry their sin in front of them like a shield, and others drag it behind them, like a rope. With some men, we see the consequences of the sin right away. With others, we don’t see it for a good seventy-five years, and even then there is debate among the learned. So Baltimore is not what happens when blacks govern themselves. Baltimore is what happens when anybody governs according to the pious platitudes of the whitest people in New England.”
Acceptable in Every Direction
“Too many trendy evangelicals, if politically correct sentiments were water, act like those long-range lawn sprinklers, the ones that have a 360-degree reach.”
We Don’t Want an Honest Conversation as Much as We Pretend To
“Everyone wanted to have an honest conversation about race. The difficulty is that in honest conversations about race, nobody is allowed to say anything that is true.”
Really Grand Inversions
“Anybody who expects due process to run smoothly with a mob outside burning the place down is someone who specializes in grand inversions.”
Bias and Bigotry
“When people make up their minds about a particular allegation based entirely on the color of the participants, they are establishing nothing other than their own disqualifications for having anything whatever to do with the justice system, or anything whatever to say about the future of race relations in America.”
