I was right.  The McDaniels / Cochran race is going to last forever and get crazier and crazier.

Here’s the deal.

Yes, indeedy.  Chris McDaniel played basketball.  In high school and junior college.  So he could not be … you know, racist.  Because he played basketball.

Holy crap.  How can you use a racist statement to prove someone is not a racist?

“It’s been frustrating to see so many people in the black community be convinced that Chris McDaniel was a racist just because someone they trusted told them he was,” the editorial, published on July 2, read. “If they did a little research on their own, they would find out that McDaniel was a basketball standout at South Jones and Jones County Junior College.”

Makes your head hurt, doesn’t it?

Okay, so where are all those basketball players coming forward to report that McDaniel is not a racist?

[crickets.  crickets.]

But not even that.  Let’s just stand in a state of stunned for a few minutes that anyone would use junior college basketball as proof of tolerance.

No No No No No No  Do not do that.
