Only whites can be racist

A black man called Omar Thornton murders eight people at work in Connecticut solely because they were white and it's the fault of white racism. So says the left-wing US media. Thus the report in the Washington Post:

To those closest to him, Omar Thornton was caring, quiet and soft-spoken. . . . But underneath, Thornton seethed with a sense of racial injustice for years that culminated in a shooting rampage Tuesday in which the Connecticut man killed eight and wounded two others at his job at Hartford Distributors in Manchester before killing himself.

“I know what pushed him over the edge was all the racial stuff that was happening at work,” said his girlfriend, Kristi Hannah.

“He always felt like he was being discriminated because he was black,” said Jessica Anne Brocuglio, his former girlfriend. “Basically they wouldn’t give him pay raises. He never felt like they accepted him as a hard working person.”

As Dennis Prager comments in NRO: 

After 50 years of being inundated with stories of white racism, and being taught in college that in this white-dominated society only a white can be a racist, the American public has been properly brainwashed into accepting the otherwise incredible.

Watch for how the Britpress handles it, if at all, and consider how it would have played if the disgruntled loser had been a white man and the victims black.
