RACISM IN BOULDER

Question for the enlightened citizens of Boulder: Are you as outraged at 
this latest sham being perpetrated by the district attorney and police as 
you were with South Carolina's continued embrace of the Stars and Bars?

Four black football players charged with a felony for an off-campus party 
where there was alcohol and marijuana use, while two white sorority sisters 
received misdemeanor wrist slaps for contributing to the delinquency of 
minors at an on-campus party where two girls ended up in the hospital with 
alcohol poisoning. The police and district attorney are correct; there is a 
significant difference between the two cases . . . and it's as clear as 
black and white.
