Prescott Mural Controversy is Latest in Left's Campaign of Racial Double Standards

The main story's at the Arizona Republic, "Altered mural fuels racial debate in Prescott." But Wonkette's over-the-top commentary really sets the table for classic leftist hypocrisy, "Arizona School Demands Black & Latino Students’ Faces On Mural Be Changed to White" (via Memeorandum):

Hard to find even the Gallows Humor in this story, so maybe we won’t even try. Maybe it’s time to admit that large chunks of America are in the hands of unreconstructed racists and vulgar idiots, and that the popular election of a black man as president just might’ve pushed these furious, economically doomed old white people into a final rage that is going to end very, very badly. Ready? Here you go: An Arizona elementary school mural featuring the faces of kids who attend the school has been the subject of constant daytime drive-by racist screaming, from adults, as well as a radio talk-show campaign (by an actual city councilman, who has an AM talk-radio show) to remove the black student’s face from the mural, and now the school principal has ordered the faces of the Latino and Black students pictured on the school wall to be repainted as light-skinned children.

This is America, in 2010, and there’s a dozen more states and endless white-trash municipalities ready to Officially Adopt this same Official Racist Insanity ....

Remember where you were, when you could still laugh about teabaggers and racists and Arizonans, because funny time is almost over. If the unemployment keeps up — one in five adult white males has no job and will never have a job again — and people keep walking away from their stucco heaps they can’t afford and the states and cities and counties and towns keep passing their aggressive racist laws to rile up the trash even more, shit’s going to very soon become very bad, and whether it’s the National Guard having wars in the Sunbelt Exurbs against armies of crazy old white people who are finally using their hundreds of millions of guns, or whole Latino neighborhoods burned to the ground the way the Klan used to burn down black neighborhoods a century ago, we are in for a long dark night and no light-colored paint is going to fix that.

Oh boy.

That's some end-times scenario.

Yes, this "lightening" issue is detestable and wrong. But I doubt anyone in Arizona seriously condones such policy and a few drunk yokels driving by shouting epithets hardly constitutes the reimposition of Jim Crow. In any case, Blair says it was a misunderstanding, has apologized, and has been fired from his radio show. That doesn't sound much like a Klan-based institutional structure gearing up for a race war.

Besides, I don't recall Wonkette's outrage last weekend.

There really are people in Arizona calling for race war, the extremist indigenous separatists who reject the United States and want to ethnically-cleanse Anglo-Americans:
