Apparently, blacks are equivalent to the mentally retarded. Who knew?


Just another data point in the Washington Post's long, slow decline into total craphood, we have this comment, which (indirectly) defends sanctimonious morals czar Bill Bennett's rasicm by equating blacks with Down's syndrome children:

The Abortion Debate No One Wants to Have

By Patricia E. Bauer

If it's unacceptable for William Bennett to link abortion even conversationally with a whole class of people (and, of course, it is), why then do we as a society view abortion as justified and unremarkable in the case of another class of people: children with disabilities?

Gee, Patricia, maybe it's because it's unspeakably classless to draw an analogy between African Americans and the mentally handicapped? Could that be it?
