From David Sirota writing at
Salon:
Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American
As we now move into the official Political Aftermath period of the Boston bombing — the period that will determine the long-term legislative fallout of the atrocity — the dynamics of privilege will undoubtedly influence the nation’s collective reaction to the attacks. That’s because privilege tends to determine: 1) which groups are — and are not — collectively denigrated or targeted for the unlawful actions of individuals; and 2) how big and politically game-changing the overall reaction ends up being.
Needless to say, Sirota is getting some heat (over 1,100 comments). He responds

Out of frying pan, into fire.
