YellowTimes.org – “Racist discourse in hostage butchery in Iraq”

“I would’ve suggested a ‘hint of subtle racism’ and ‘unconcealed bias’ in the Chicago Sun-Times’ article, “Arabs express rare outrage at kidnapping of French journalists.” (Sep. 1) But I didn’t, for the article’s assessment was disturbingly true. […] But if it’s true that morality precedes politics the same way conscience precedes being � as some idealists claim � then where was the outrage at the killing of 12 cheap laborers from Nepal, butchered by Iraqi militants just days before the French hostage crisis was set off? […] I said, “I am so sorry for what has happened to your people. I assure you that there are so many people out there who care,”

Once again, I shuddered. I often shudder when I tell a lie. “
