Sillygism/ Phony victims of criticism of racism

[Charles Brown]

This is not manufactured martyrdom. What is manufactured is the self-declaration of victimization by such as Kelley, with her hoaky effort to make her self out as a victim of being criticized for racist arguments. Wojtek has it completely backward. The problem is not the targets of racism complaining about racism, but the Reaganite line of Wojtek et al. that the targets of racism are falsely martyring themselves.

Doug, with all due respect, I thought you'd be more critical of the
manufactured martyrdom of the "everyone hates us Jews/Blacks/Serbs/_____
(fill in your own group)" variety.
