I would not trust that such an individual could be impartial, or use good judgement.
Oh, come on, chubby, you wouldn't trust
anyone. But in all seriousness, I am unaware of Law making racist remarks on WP or WR. If anything, I am aware that he has exercised uncommonly good judgment in both web sites -- and I am genuinely sorry to see people ignoring his many positive contributions. (IMG:

That is a wonderful defense.
the notion that there is any historical, sociological, or other reason for white people to take pride in being white is idiotic.
At the same time, however, an argument could be made that there is no need for "black pride," "gay pride" or any "XXX pride" in a 21st century society where the political, economic, academic and cultural elite represent the full spectrum of racial, religious and ethnic experiences. Why express "pride" in a society that doesn't put any degree of shame on one's race, religion, heritage or sexuality?
None of this has to do with Law, of course, but I can't figure out any way to insert bosom jokes into this conversation. (IMG:
