The Daily Caller, 4/8/2012:

National Review editor Rich Lowry said on Saturday that the magazine had fired columnist John Derbyshire for writing an allegedly racist article, which appeared on the libertarian site Taki’s Magazine…

There are those who believe that the following statements are racist:

(10a) Avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally.

(10b) Stay out of heavily black neighborhoods.

(10c) If planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date (neglect of that one got me the closest I have ever gotten to death by gunshot).

(10d) Do not attend events likely to draw a lot of blacks.

(10e) If you are at some public event at which the number of blacks suddenly swells, leave as quickly as possible.

Are these statements racist? The Daily Caller is not ready to go there. But it is, at least, willing to note that some people allege the statements are racist.

I wonder if there’s a position at the Caller for a recently fired National Review writer?

…meanwhile (in the long forgotten spirit of bi-partisanship): the crackhead ex-mayor of DC is, apparently, also a raging racist.

Happy Easter, everyone!

(P.S. Oh yeah, I guess this means that the other news today is that NR has fired Derbyshire.)

You may have heard that NRO’s John Derbyshire published an outrage-baiting post Friday that outraged the congenitally outrageable: Something about telling his kids to avoid black neighborhoods because those niggers will pop a cap in your cracker ass.

We might be over-paraphrasing that. Let’s check in with the source:

RedState’s Erick Erickson: “I don’t care that The Masters are a male-dominated event. I don’t care that women aren’t members of The Masters. Frankly, I kind of like the idea that women aren’t members of The Masters. Good Lord, I don’t want to be hanging out at some women’s event! Can’t men go anywhere and just be men?” [ThinkProgress]

“Those were the five boys. I hate to say it, but often I had more than five sons. I had six sons, and he would be as mischievous and as naughty as the other boys.” —Ann Romney, describing Mitt in a new campaign video. [Political Wire]
