Multicultural 'bunk': when pride becomes intimidation

Gregory Kane of the Baltimore Sun looks at the truth behind multiculturism. Another example of the double-standard from the left. Ok for them to exercise free speech, but not for those they oppose. Another good read. Worth reading the whole article; not just the teaser below.//JW sends.

Last Oct. 12 some Italian-Americans in Denver got the funny idea that they could have a parade in honor of that famous Italian explorer named Christopher Columbus. Believing they lived in a country where the First Amendment applied to them, the Italian-Americans got a permit.

A group of "activists" - many of them American Indians - blocked the parade route. After ignoring police orders to disperse, more than 200 were arrested and charged with loitering and disobeying a police order. Eight went to trial.

At the trial, these "activists" said that celebrating Columbus Day was "hate speech" and that the parade was "ethnic intimidation" targeting American Americans. One of the "activist" leaders was Ward Churchill, a professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

Now what, exactly, is the difference between a "professor of ethnic studies" and a "professor of whining victimology?" In Churchill's case, none at all.
