Here’s a story I’m surprised hasn’t received more attention. Even the NY Post, which has a right bias and delights in the foibles of the left, devoted only a tiny space to it far from the front page. Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders, who is unafraid to label himself a socialist, had just begun an address in Seattle when his microphone was seized by two women from Black Lives Matter. They accused the audience of “white supremacist liberalism.” Sanders vamoosed. While the item elicited a devilish delight from me and tempted me to resurrect a 60’s “Right on!”, I deplore the group’s method and know the charge is trumped up. Although a compelling argument can be made that the left’s social programs have been disastrous for many blacks, the hearts of liberals, if not their brains, were always in the right place. Jason L. Riley has addressed this in his best-seller: Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed. Doesn't "racist" imply intentional behavior?
RIP NFL Hall of Famer Frank Gifford, 84, whose family listed his death as due to natural causes. He was an infinitely better player than broadcaster, starring first as a RB, then WR for the NY Giants. He was my first favorite football player. His matinee idol looks belied his toughness. He was involved in one of the most famous plays in league history, knocked cold by Eagles LB Chuck Bednarik, which forced him to the sidelines for an entire year.
