Perturbed by the Perturbed

Personally, I am more annoyed over the media’s “coverage” of white response to the March 16th “Silent Protest” against the killing of Sean Bell than I am by Herman Badillo's contempt towards people of color.

I am particularly outraged that the media would choose to interview Steven Pagones, a former assistant district attorney from Poughkeepsie with absolutely no connection to – or authority over - the Bell case.

In addition to wasting valuable airtime interviewing Rev. Al Sharpton’s adversary, the press has also chosen to broadcast inane complaints by whites such as “They have the right to march, well we have the right to shop.”

Reports on the December 21 follow-up financial district march protesting the killing of the unarmed bridegroom by undercover police officers was met with equal disdain as white Wall Street workers were filmed complaining about being “inconvenienced” during their lunch hour.

Perhaps these disconcerted whites should get together and discuss the matter with Herman Badillo, who seems similarly perturbed at people of color due to his own sense of manifest (political) destiny.

Oh, wait, he’s already gone that route ... at the Manhattan Institute.
